Abstract
Suicidal ideation among medical students has become a growing concern, yet it remains a neglected public mental health issue in Bangladesh. This brief paper examines the extant literature on suicide behaviors among Bangladeshi medical students. Data from Bangladesh regarding suicide behaviors among medical students is scarce but of concern. In comparison to university students, the prevalence of medical students' suicidal ideation is significantly higher in Bangladesh. Moreover, medical students' suicide rates globally are reportedly higher than those of the general population (up to 3-5 times higher). During the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence rates of suicide behaviors appeared to increase even further. Suggestions are provided for ways to reduce the prevalence of suicide behaviors among Bangladeshi medical students.
