The correct answer is 'intentional overdose,' which refers specifically to the conscious decision to ingest substances with the intent to harm oneself. This can involve medications, alcohol, or other toxic substances. Other terms, such as 'accidental ingestion,' do not apply here as they imply a lack of intent.
