GLOBAL SUICIDE RATE

 SUICIDE RATE:

More than 700 000 people die due to suicide every year.

For every suicide, there are many more people who attempt suicide. A prior suicide attempt is the single most important risk factor for suicide in the general population.
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-19 year-olds.
77% of global suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries.

Ingestion of pesticides, hanging, and firearms are among the most common methods of suicide globally.

Prevention:
limit access to the means of suicide (e.g. pesticides, firearms, certain medications);
interact with the media for responsible reporting of suicide;
foster socio-emotional life skills in adolescents;
early identify, assess, manage and follow up with anyone who is affected by suicidal behaviors

Post pandemic period has played a vital role in the increasing number of suicide. This generation leads to comfort life, learning and believing the news comes from social media only. Not finding time to go out to meet the people and stand in the sun and burn for a while.

The sad part is the numbers are increasing in recent years a lot as the younger generation is not being able to handle the situation in the proper way. Need counseling for those who are weak mentally.
Let us spread positive vibes to others as much as we can to lead a healthy lifestyle in the world.
