Introduction: A growing body of research evidence from countries around the world indicates that economic recession is associated with increases in suicide, particularly in males of working age. Aim: To explore the impact of the economic crisis on the growth of global suicide. Sub-goal of the study is to investigate the mediators affected by the economic crisis and lead to suicide. Specifically, years 2018 and 2019 are the most recent periods of a long-term recession when people were used to this situation. The researchers of this study found great interest on the way suicidality rates behave after a condition of social stability. Material and Method: This is a systematic review. The search was conducted in Pubmed, Cohrane and Cinahl databases. The key words used, were: «financial crisis» and «suicide»with several combinations. We included quantitative articles that were published in the English language from 2018 to 2019 concerning economic recession and suicide. Results: From the initial search, 223 articles were found. 43 articles were rejected after reviewing the title and other 26 articles which did not meet the inclusion criteria. After detailed review, 13 relevant articles were retrieved. Conclusions: It seems that there are some interventions that are believed to improve the negative psychological effects of the economic recession on the population, most of which require action at the governmental level to prevent suicide. Policymakers have been activated to take evidence-based effective measures for the promotion of public health in the context of the economic downturn.
