At the event, Dr Mary Haobam said that factors such as depression, stress, anxiety and alcoholic addiction lead one to commit suicide.
Risk of committing suicide among youth who are experiencing stress/depression is high and they should seek help, Dr Mary said urging all to give proper attention and care to all that need help.
