Depression is often implicated as the primary cause of adolescent suicidality (ideation, planning, and attempts) and completed suicide. More than 88% of the world' adolescents live in developing countries, including Arab countries, where also 97% of adolescent death cases occur. Mental and behavioral disorders, with depression at the top of the list, contribute to nearly 25% of Arab adolescents' disability (IHME, 2013).
