A consultant psychiatrist at Lagos University Teaching

Hospital, LUTH, Dr Yewande Oshodi has raised alarm

that more Nigerians are thinking of committing suicide.

According to her, no fewer than 10 percent of all
referrals at LUTH were suicide attempts.

The health expert spoke yesterday at the launch of

LUTH campaign against suicide, tagged: “One More
Day” to save and counsel individuals who have

attempted suicide.

Recall that a medical doctor, Allwell Orji, jumped into

the Lagos Lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge last

Sunday after he told his driver to stop the vehicle.
.

Also on Friday, Lagos State Police Command rescued a

woman identified as Taiwo Titilayo Momoh, from

jumping into the same Lagoon.

At the event, Oshodi said that over a five-year study

period, 7.2 percent of cases referred to psychiatry

consultation –liaison services in LUTH-were cases

related to suicide.

She said reports had shown that during lifetime, about

3.0 percent of Nigerians have had thoughts about

ending their lives, 1.0 percent will plan on how to kill

themselves, while just under 1.0 percent will carry out

an attempt to kill themselves.

“Suicide is most unwanted incident anyone could like to

experience either by losing a loved ones and it is

preventable to some degree”, the consultant

psychiatrist said.

She reiterated that suicide could be prevented and

blamed the increase in suicide attempts on the stigma

associated with mental health.

“The stigma of psychotics and mental health makes it

difficult for people to come out when they are going

through issues”, she said.

Recently, World Health Organisation, WHO, released

statistics which showed that approximately one million

people died by suicide annually worldwide and that for

every one who died by suicide, about 20 more made an

attempt.
