Soper's ‘pain and brain’ evolutionary theory of suicide has significant explanatory power deserves wider consideration scrutiny in the mainstream psychiatric literature. It provides a novel framework for thinking about problem could have an important impact on research as well clinical practice.

We challenge a prevalent belief that depression causes suicide and propose certain symptoms of other psychopathologies may function to prevent lethal self-injury. Theoretical empirical evidence supports this position. As posed an extreme fitness hazard throughout human evolution, our species evolved special-purpose psychological defences continuously monitor manage danger. Last-ditch protections present as diverse psychiatric phenomena. Mobilising in adolescence adulthood response chronic distress, these usually stop suicidal thoughts from escalating into deadly actions. The theory is testable. point important implications for the clinical management psychopathology.
