    AbstractSuicide can be the tragic consequence of depression, even in childhood. Depression has been described in infants, is often overlooked in children and is a leading cause of death in adolescents. Childhood suicide is uncommon because of the child's lack of knowledge and limited physical resources. The high incidence of suicide in adolescents is, in part, due to impulsive activity. While drug therapy can be helpful, the management of frightened and depressed suicidal youngsters requires a network of helping professionals.
