An Analysis with Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Barratt Impulsivity Scale on Patients Who Attempted to Recurrent Suicide

Suicide is an attempt to put an end to a person’s life voluntarily. It is a form of aggression directed at a person’s self (1). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2% of the deaths are caused by suicides, and more than one million people commit suicide every year (2). Suicide rates vary between 0.003% and 0.045%, and especially among young people, it is one of the leading causes of death following traffic accidents. It is also ranked second in the causes of injury (3). Therefore, suicide must be considered as a public health problem.
