Response - NO
Brief Summary   Sikkim has the highest suicide rate than the national average with rising trend since 2004 , Most existing studies are retrospective , cross sectional or hospital based focusing on socio demographic factors without control populations for comparison . While this studies highlight risk factors they cannot establish cause effect relationship or generalize findings. Therefore it is essential to implement intervention that enhance knowledge on suicide prevention improve psychological well being , enhance self esteem and reduced suicide rate in the region
