A study from a tertiary care hospital in India analyzed 165 patients (Jan-Jun 2024), revealing 69 suicide attempts and 96 non-suicidal self-injuries (NSSI).

**Key Findings:**
- Suicide attempts were most common in those aged 31-40, linked to depressive disorders (68.7%), while NSSI-affected individuals aged 18-30, were often tied to substance use (67.1%).
- Self-poisoning was the most common method, possibly due to weak pesticide regulations. 

The study emphasizes the need for early screening, better substance regulation, and improved post-discharge care.
