Adolescence is a crucial phase marked by rapid physical, emotional, and social changes. During this period, individuals often face academic pressure, identity struggles, and relationship challenges. These stressors can sometimes lead to mental health problems, making adolescents vulnerable to suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Suicide has become a significant public health concern worldwide, highlighting the importance of early risk assessment and intervention.
