Description
Manu Lamtari Magar and co-authors survey in this 2025 study self-harm and suicidal behavior among undergraduates in Nepal's Gandaki Province. Suicide ranks among the top killers of young people worldwide. Four schools in one municipality gave 538 students, screened with standard self-harm and health questionnaires.
About sixteen percent reported self-harm, thirty percent suicidal thoughts, and small shares plans or attempts. Strained relationships more than doubled the odds of self-harm and tripled those of suicidal thoughts. A family history of mental illness raised thought risk nearly fivefold. The authors call the rates alarming and point schools toward relationship and family support. Campus counselors gain clear first targets for outreach.
