Suicide is a serious, yet tragically underrecognized, public health problem that claims approximately 30,000 lives each year in the United States. Cast in its societal and historical context, the rate of suicide for the past century has been two to three times that of homicide. Worse yet, suicide is one of the foremost causes of death among children and young adults (IOM, 2002). Depression and other mood disorders confer the highest risk of suicide (Fawcett et al., 1991; Goodwin and Jamison, 2007; Harris and Barraclough, 1997). It has been estimated that 35 to 50 percent of depressed children make a suicide attempt, and 2 to 8 percent commit suicide over a 10-year period (Fombonne et al., 2001; Kovacs et al., 1993; Rao et al., 1993; Weissman et al., 1999).
