Unusual Case of extended suicide attempt

Abstract

Extended suicide is the act of committing suicide after homicide. The act can be committed by a parent on their children. It is often accompanied by the death of parent by suicide. Risk factors and motives for extended suicide and suicide attempts differ as per the context and psychopathology of the person. Maternal extended suicide is not uncommon entity in the literature; however, there is a paucity of the literature on maternal extended suicide attempts. We report the case of a 29-year-old mother who attempted to end her and her children’s lives by using clozapine tablet.
