Around 650 people take their own lives in Norway every year. Many of those bereaved by suicide themselves face challenges with mental health afterwards. Many have also had more frequent contact with the GP in the run-up to the suicide.

Two out of three who die as a result of suicide are men. Many relatives and close friends are affected by suicide every year.

A literature search to find potentially relevant systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials about the effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on suicide and suicide prevention.
