Suicidal Behavior Disorder: A Repertorial Study of Relevant Rubrics in Homoeopathy
Abstract: Suicidal Behavior Disorder (SBD), recognized in recent psychiatric discussions, refers to repeated suicidal attempts or ideation independent of major psychiatric diagnoses such as depression or psychosis. Conventional management often emphasizes crisis intervention, pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapy, yet many patients continue to experience underlying susceptibility that predisposes them to recurrence. Homoeopathy, with its holistic and individualized approach, offers a complementary perspective in addressing the dynamic causes behind suicidal tendencies. This paper explores the scope of Homoeopathic Repertory in the management of Suicidal Behavior Disorder. Repertorial rubrics such as "Suicidal disposition", "Despair of life", "Desire for death", and "Impulsive to suicide" are examined across standard repertories including Kent's, Synthesis, and Complete Repertory. Homoeopathy, integrated with supportive psychiatric care, may contribute to reducing suicidal impulses, improving resilience, and restoring balance in patients predisposed to self-destructive tendencies.
