Abstract
With so many existing
and emerging issues affecting
mental health globally, this
work is a timely review of
issues faced specifically
in Muslim (majority) countries.
The editors advise there has
been no serious attempt to
study suicidal behaviors in
Muslim-majority countries
previously and the book covers
epidemiology, risk factors
of suicidal behavior, and
the challenges of suicide
prevention.
The
book will serve as a useful
resource for family doctors
who may be the first point
of contact of potential suicides,
as well as policymakers, public
health specialists, mental
health professionals and non-governmental
and voluntary organizations
interested in suicide prevention
in Muslim-majority countries
and in Muslim populations
in non-Islamic countries.
The
book was compiled by S. M.
Yasir Arafat, Mohsen Rezaeian
and Murad M. Khan who have
a deep, ongoing interest in
the topic. Previous articles
