Abstract

In this work, is presented a mathematical model to the consciousness time evolution based on the Psychoanalytical Theory proposed by Sigmund Freud. Considering some initial hypotheses about the suicidal behavior, this model was applied to the statistical data of suicide rates observed in different regions of the world. The results allow the evaluation of the hypothetical profiles of consciousness level by age from the respective populations.
