Suicide terminology

Historically, suicide terminology has been rife with issues of nomenclature, connotation, and outcomes,[1][2] and terminology describing suicide has often been defined differently depending on the purpose of the definition (e.g., medical, legal, administrative). A lack of agreed-upon nomenclature and operational definitions has complicated understanding. In 2007, attempts were made to reach some consensus.[2][3][4][5] There is also opposition to the phrase "to commit suicide" as implying negative moral judgment and association with criminal or sinful activity.

In 2020, research demonstrated that stigmatizing and other verbiage commonly used in regard to suicide, such as reporting or sharing a method of suicide, leads to a 13 percent increase in the national suicide rate following highly publicized (celebrity) suicides as well as a 30 percent increase in suicides using the same method as the public figure.[6]
