Dear MEL Topic Readers,
One person dies every 40 seconds from suicide, WHO says
Every year, as many as 800,000 people kill themselves, according to WHO. That means nearly 2,200 suicides are committed every day. This figure is higher than the deaths in wars or homicides, meaning more people kill themselves than being killed in wars or crimes.
Somehow, more men killed themselves than women. While nearly 14 men per 100,000 committed suicide worldwide, 7.5 women did. Only countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Morocco, and Lesotho, a landlocked kingdom encircled by South Africa, showed higher suicide rates by women than men. Another aspect is income and wealth. In high-income countries, nearly three times as many men as women killed themselves while the men-women rate is more equal among low- and middle-income countries. From what kind of pressure do men suffer?
Sadly, among young people aged 15-29 years old, suicide was the second-highest cause of death only after road injuries. Can’t they be helped?
Since the most common methods of suicide are pesticides, hanging, and firearms, limiting access to these potentially fatal items could reduce impulsive suicides. And of course, family members, neighbors and friends are the ones who can sense and ease the stress, pressure, or despair of a person.
Read the article and learn about one of the most common preventable cause of deaths.
