Anomic Suicide

Anomic suicide refers to a type of suicide that occurs when individuals feel disconnected from societal norms and values. This sense of disconnection often arises during times of rapid change, such as economic upheaval or social shifts, leaving people feeling lost and without purpose. When the structure that normally guides behavior and expectations breaks down, individuals may experience confusion and despair. This lack of stability can lead to feelings of hopelessness, making them more susceptible to suicidal thoughts or actions. Anomic suicide highlights the impact of social environment on mental health and individual well-being.
