This book is about suicidal behavior in Bangladesh. Suicidal behavior is a major; however, an under-researched public health problem in Bangladesh. The country still lacks a national suicide surveillance system, a national suicide prevention strategy. Therefore, access to quality suicide data for policymaking is a fundamental challenge. There are wide variations in the suicide rate as per different studies and international reports. Additionally, there is a strong possibility of under-reporting of suicidal behavior in the country. Suicide attempt is a criminal offense in the legal system of the country that certainly hinders the disclosure of suicidal behavior. A high level of stigma, lower level of suicide literacy, enduring culture, Muslim majority religious background, criminality badge, patriarchal social norms, and intimate partner violence affect suicide prevention in Bangladesh. Fortunately, an increased number of studies are coming out in the current decade exploring multiple aspects of suicidal behavior indicting that social factors have a prominent role than the mental disorder which is a noticeable difference in the country from the Western findings. Therefore, this book aims to discuss suicidal behavior in Bangladesh based on existing evidence and expertise covering epidemiology, sources of quality data, local culture, forensic and legal aspects, health and mental health care, media and suicide, crisis management system, suicide prevention, and status of evidence in the country. This book is the first of its kind to address multiple aspects of suicidal behavior in Bangladesh.

This book is about psychiatric nursing in Bangladesh. Bangladesh, a densely populated South Asian nation with around 170 million people, has recently transitioned to a lower-middle-income country, yet it faces a significant dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. There is an extreme shortage of nurses in Bangladesh where currently (as of February 2023) 77,838 registered nurses are available. As per a cautious projection, the demand for nurses will be 483,000 in 2030. The latest estimate revealed that there are 0.43 psychiatric nurses for every 100,000 patients. Currently, no textbook is available in Bangladesh specifically focused on psychiatric nursing, despite the country's urgent need for mental health education. This book would provide basic insights and culturally relevant skills to help bridge the health services in the country. Offering localized content, practical case studies, and context-specific interventions will equip the next generation of nurses to better serve the mental health needs of Bangladeshi communities. There is no similar book in the market on psychiatric nursing in Bangladesh. Hence this will be the first book of its kind according to the curriculum of BSc Nursing in Bangladesh.
