Öngyilkossági

Öngyilkossági is a Hungarian adjective meaning suicidal or related to suicide. It is formed from the noun öngyilkosság (suicide), which combines ön (self) with gyilkos (murderer) and the suffix -ság to create a noun. The adjective is used to describe phenomena, risk, or actions connected to suicide and appears in clinical, statistical, and policy contexts.

Common constructions include öngyilkossági kísérlet (suicide attempt), öngyilkossági kockázat (risk of suicide), öngyilkossági hajlam or öngyilkossági tendencia (suicidal tendency), and öngyilkossági megelőzés (suicide prevention). In medical and research language, the term helps distinguish suicide-related factors from other mental health issues and is often found in clinical notes, risk assessments, and public health reports.

In media and public discourse, the use of the term is generally clinical and is approached with care when discussing sensitive topics to avoid sensationalism. The concept intersects with mental health, depression, crisis intervention, and preventive programs, and there are corresponding terms in other languages for cross-cultural reporting.

Safety note: If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or considering self-harm, seek urgent help from local emergency services or contact available crisis resources in your country.
