      मनोविज्ञान की दृष्टि से देखें, जैसा कि डॉ॰ हट्सनेकर ने तर्क और उदाहरणों से दिखलाया है, हर मनुष्य के अवचेतन में जन्म से ही जिजीविषा और मृत्यु-आकांक्षा का द्वंद्व चलता रहता है। जब तक जिजीविषा प्रखरतर रहती है, मनुष्य जीवित रहता है, और यदि सहसा जिजीविषा खत्म हो जाए तो मनुष्य की मृत्यु हो जाती है या वह आत्महत्या कर लेता है।
      manovijñān kī dŕṣṭi se dekhẽ, jaisā ki ḍŏ. haṭsanekar ne tark aur udāharṇõ se dikhlāyā hai, har manuṣya ke avcetan mẽ janma se hī jijīviṣā aur mŕtyu-ākāṅkṣā kā dvandva caltā rahtā hai. jab tak jijīviṣā prakhartar rahtī hai, manuṣya jīvit rahtā hai, aur yadi sahsā jijīviṣā khatma ho jāe to manuṣya kī mŕtyu ho jātī hai yā vah ātmahatyā kar letā hai.
      From a psychological perspective, as Dr. Hutschnecker has demonstrated through reasoning and examples, the conflict between the will to live and the desire for death continues in the subconscious of every human being since birth. As long as the will to live is predominant, a person remains alive, and if suddenly the will to live ends, the person dies or commits suicide.
