The Catholic Church teaches that suicide is a grave sin because it goes against the belief that life is a gift from God and should be respected. The Church also recognizes that mental illness and other factors can influence a person's decision to take their own life, and emphasizes the importance of compassion and support for those who are struggling.

People who commit suicide go to Hell. The Roman Catholic Church teaches that suicide is a sin that a person cannot repent of, and that a person who commits suicide is guilty of not trusting God to provide for his or her circumstances.
