| Core Tip |
Previous research has demonstrated clear and consistent sex-/gender-specific patterns in the continuum of suicidal behaviour. Here, we review epidemiologic, genetic, neurodevelopmental and psychopathological research to identify and discuss explanations for these findings. We propose antecedents to youth suicide and highlight the importance of early intervention. Understanding the mechanisms underlying sex/gender differences in youth suicidal behaviour could help identify strategies to reduce suicide risk across the lifespan.
