Spirituality, Suicide, Suicidal IdeationAbstract
The relation between religiosity/spirituality (R/S) and health is a topic of great interest actually, especially regarding mental health. In fact, the beneficial effect of this association has been described with higher levels of well-being, reduction of drug use, lower rates of depression and anxiety, as well as being a protective factor specifically for suicidal behavior (SB). However the mechanisms that may explain these results have not yet been adequately clarified. Likewise, there are still many difficulties in transposing this knowledge into clinical practice, which is the biggest challenge related to this theme. Thus, in view of the relevance of the theme, this article aims to bring an update on the relation between R/S and SB, with an approach not only to the positive aspects, but also about the negative elements involved among them. To this end, we conducted a literature review with emphasis on articles published in the past two decades.
