Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lethality refers to the probability that a person will successfully complete suicide. Parasuicide is a voluntary, apparent attempt at suicide, commonly called a suicidal gesture, in which the aim is not death (e.g., taking a sublethal drug). The term suicidality refers to all suicide-related behaviors and thoughts of completing or attempting suicide and suicide ideation. Suicidal ideation is thinking about and planning one's own death.
