A)A real or symbolic loss leads to a defense mechanism called introjection, and this in turn leads to suicide as an extreme expression of internalized anger and self-hatred. B)An inability to adequately overcome the Oedipus or Electra complex leads to a longing for an end to life that results in suicidal behaviors.
