Objective: To analyze the epidemiological profile of the suicide deaths in the State of Amapá, in the period from 2010 to 2019. Methods: Retrospective transversal epidemiological study, with a quantitative and descriptive approach, through secondary data from the Mortality Information System (SIM). Information regarding deaths from intentionally self-inflicted injuries were used (X60-X84, according to CID-10), by sex and age group, that happened from 2010 to 2019 in the State of Amapá. Results: There were 425 deaths by suicide, between 2010 and 2019, of which 339 were male and 86 female (ratio of 3.94:1). In the same period, there was an increase of 68,64% in the general mortality rate, being that in men the increase was of 62.86%, and in women, of 92.65%. Concerning the cause of the suicide and the age group, respectively, it was observed that the majority occurred by intentionally self-inflicted injury caused by hanging, strangulation and suffocation (X70), and the highest percentage of deaths was between 20 and 29 years old (35.05%), both in male and females. Conclusions: Suicide is a complex problem with a great impact on public health worldwide and that has been growing in recent years, as evidenced in this study. Therefore, it is healthy to develop epidemiological analyzes that help to identify groups at risk of suicide, in order to understand the aspects involved in this phenomenon, as well as adapting interventions so that there is greater effectiveness and reach in addressing these populations.
