Why is it that suicide is the tragic outcome for so many addicts?

- Addiction rehab treatment centre in Spain
Suicide is the leading cause of premature death in young adults. According to the World Health Organisation more than 1 million people in the world commit suicide each year and 5% of adults attempt suicide at least once in their lifetime.

Research shows that over 50% of all suicides are associated with alcohol and drug use, and about 25% of alcoholics and addicts commit suicide.

Why is it that suicide is the tragic outcome for so many addicts? It could be one or a combination of several factors
The overriding feelings and emotions associated with alcoholism and addiction are despair, hopelessness and loneliness - this can lead addicts to suicide as an escape from these feelings.
When someone has a drink or a drug inside them cautions and inhibitions are lowered, individuals are driven to take risks and actions they normally wouldn’t.
Many addicts use alcohol and drugs for the short-term relief of the symptoms of depression and mental health issues however it is often only compounding problems leading to an increase in anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
