The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of suicidality as an existential phenomenon rooted in the conditions of total social alienation in modern society. The analysis of the causal determinants of suicidal behavior indicates that traditional psychological and biomedical reductionist models are insufficient to understand this phenomenon without considering the structural characteristics of social existence and the ontological parameters of human existence and its existential constants. Special attention is paid to the transformation of social alienation into an existential vacuum, which provokes the loss of ontological meaning and the rift between human existence and essence. Identifying the risks associated with the totalization of alienation in social formations will allow for the development of effective approaches to the prevention of suicidal behavior that take into account the ontological status of alienation as a constitutive feature of sociality.
