Fatalistic suicide refers to a type of suicide that occurs when individuals feel overwhelmed by oppressive circumstances or extreme social conditions, leading them to perceive their situation as unchangeable. This concept was introduced by sociologist Émile Durkheim, who argued that such individuals may see death as the only escape from their suffering. It often arises in environments with strict regulations or when personal freedom is severely limited, resulting in a sense of hopelessness and despair.

§ Fatalistic suicides occur in overly oppressive societies, causing people to prefer to die than to carry on living within their society. This is an extremely rare reason for people to take their own lives, but a good example would be within a prison; people prefer to die than live in a prison with constant abuse and excessive regulation that prohibits them from pursuing their desires.
An altruistic suicide is when someone kills themselves for the benefit of others, or for the greater good. French sociologist Emile Durkheim categorized suicide as either altruistic, egoistic, anomic, and fatalistic. Altruistic suicide examples would be an elderly person, in some societies, who commits suicide as they reach old age or become ill, so as to not be a burden to their community. Another example would be that of a soldier knowingly entering into a lethal situation to save the lives of others.

Émile Durkheim's explanation of suicide was specific because he categorized it into four distinct types—egoistic, altruistic, anomic, and fatalistic—each linked to social factors. He emphasized how varying levels of social integration and regulation influence individual behavior, suggesting that suicide rates are not merely personal decisions but are shaped by societal conditions. This analytical approach highlighted the connection between individual actions and broader social dynamics, making his work foundational in sociology.
