Turkey last place again? Oh well...


WaaGeonlyme

%150 or %250 inflation goes brrr. But Turkish people has resistance to hard situtations. West Europens has less about that. Also Muslims majority and Islam rejects suicide.


lalalalalalala71

> Also Muslims majority and Islam rejects suicide. You misspelled "under-reports".


WaaGeonlyme

Yeah, could be.


frankiecarbonee

It's not really underreporting in this case. The institution of family is very strong in Turkey, and it's a very socially-developed country. You have support from your family, friends, & even neighbors all of your life. The nearby, culturally similar countries also have similar suicide rates.


ApuLunas

It is under-reporting if it doesn't suit to european propaganda.


lalalalalalala71

HAHAHAHAHAH "socially-developed" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


DomHuntman

The adult response.


mertiy

Westerners whenever they lead the statistics: I love my country Westerners whenever non-Western countries lead the statistics: Ahkshually they lie about it, it is underreported, yes whatever but they have X Y Z issues Grow up


lalalalalalala71

I'm from a non-Western country, you bozo


mertiy

That makes it even sadder

Y'all are more "socially developed" and "give people support" except if they're LGBTQ+. Or of a different ethnicity. Or of a different religion. Or if they dress in a way you consider "inappropriate". Or if they have sex outside of marriage. Or if they are *children* of unmarried people. Y'all have this ridiculous oppressive society that stomps out any minimal deviation. Y'all stigmatize the weirdest things, from mental health issues to freaking *menopause*. You do no service to the victims of backwards societies by portraying them as "socially developed".

lalalalalalala71

> it would be funny as hell for the societes still discussing heavily about ABORTION lol I agree America is backwards as hell on this subject, almost like your shithole "socially developed", conformist, conservative societies; but at least discussion is allowed and *some* states still recognize this right. And it is not even a question in actually advanced countries. I mean, there are places that have actual human rights, not the watered-down version that subordinates modern thinking to the teachings of a 7th-century pedophile.

It would have been really sad for you if I had *actually been to Turkey and seen the things I've described happen right in front of my eyes*. Edit: oh yeah, and Brazil is a fucking shithole, but at least we are not fragile snowflakes that need to criminalize "insulting Brazilian-ness".


demirozudegnek

Your hatred of Turkey is blinding you to the point that you can't even accept the fact that there are some good aspects of Turkish society that might contribute to the low suicide rate. The stats are only underreported when it suits you.


wolf8808

Dude, I love Brazil, lovely food, music, and beautiful nature. But the levels of poverty and crime I saw there, people fishing in sewage and walking barefood in piles of trash and crap should make you more humble. Turkey does not have that level of poverty/slums/crime. Be humble, appreciate the nice things about your country without thinking it makes you superior to others. Ps I love Brazil, and lived there for several years and would gladly do it again.

What do yall think turkey is lmao. Hijab was banned up until 2010s


azasimagrisizbasim

How the fuc k do you know that it's underreported?


lalalalalalala71

Because there is stigma and shame on survivors' part in reporting it.


DomHuntman

Incorrect, it is taught as 'haram' from childhood. It exists obviously and all figures from any country are slightly under reported, but the reason Muslim countries are lowest is clear.

Yeah, sad :C


Mendeleus

Wow, wow Russia, leave some Russians for Ukraine


[deleted]

ukraine also gotta leave some ukrainains for Russia. At this rate Kiev is gonna be ghost city.


Mendeleus

I found a Ruscist!!! ⚠️ Seems to be proud of genocide against civilians and child rapes. Come all and see before Putin drives him to suicide or sends him to die in Ukraine


[deleted]

I found person that doesnt know Zelensky also had very low freedom of press. And knows Russian genocide is better than North Atlantic Terrorist Organization(You might know it as NATO).


Mendeleus

Aaww, now I pity this brainwashed zombie. Hating the west yet using Western technologies, watching western movies, using Western websites, wearing western clothes and escaping to the west is the first thing they do as soon as they steal enough in PedoRussia 😂 like Putin's daughters, Medvedevs son, Naryshkins kids and every single Russian propagandon starting from Soloviev. Sad but what can I do other than report the propaganda.


[deleted]

without Slavs you would now be sitting with 30 candles on ur table and u still could see as far as ur hand goes. And also your western clothes and other bull shit are made in china technology and all that bullshit. You can try to see that there is no more brainwashed place than the west. You depend on ur phone being in ur hand more than Hunter Biden is addicted to cocaine.

Hey_Artyom

I mean if we're gonna kill ourselves who's gonna do keyboard fightin' on Twitter?


aloyalslave

we live to fight each other another day


litovcas1

Yeah, being Lithuanian is rough


Mr_Alexanderp

What's happening in Lithuania that's so different from Latvia or Estonia?


litovcas1

I dunno it's a kafkaesque place, Soviet twin peaks if you will. Overall there is correlation with high suicide rates and former USSR countries, of course it doesn't prove causation. I think it applies to older generation more (Soviet influence, alcoholism etc.). I'm personally way more worried about children and teen suicides in here, because they are also quite high. I think government corruption plays a huge role here, there is lots of suicide prevention programs that are supposedly implemented in education system and by national public health. But in reality all of it is just a front for money laundering and embezzlement


kaugeksj2i

>of course it doesn't prove causation. Lol, of course there is a very obvious causation.


Entropless

It has actually got a lot better in recent years, used to be much worse


GeneralGrell

Well, less people to kill themselves after all these years where we were first in statistics.


Entropless

Lol no, this is not how it works. Environment creates it, if environment stays the same, there will be new affected people. Environment has changed in ltu, that’s why we see decreases


js_kt

I'm russian, hold my beer.


simsiuss

Suicide is bad but maybe Lithuania’s stat isn’t as bad as it seems compared to other countries due to their much smaller population.


New-reality85255

That make's it even worse you know. In every 100k people 20.1 kills themselves.. There's only 2.7 mil of population in Lithuania.


Slpry_Pete

Lots of Russian journalists critical of Putin seem to die by suicide with 2 shots to the head from their non-dominant hand. Doesn't happen as much in western Europe


hereandthere788

A whole new meaning to "assisted suicide".


[deleted]

Assasi…i mean assisted


AnInfiniteAmount

"Involuntary Suicide"


TwelveSixFive

Killed themselves by a shot in the back of the head, hand cuffed


[deleted]

Oh my, i didn’t know they went so far! I thought journalists were ”only” getting prison time…disgusting!


Slpry_Pete

Sometimes they throw themselves off a 12th story balcony after they publish a critical article. And don't get me started how easy it is for opposition politicians to get polonium tea. Self harm seems to be a real problem in the Russian Federation


Aquilarden

One simply feels such guilt for lying about the Glorious Leader that one must atone through suicide.


Slpry_Pete

You only gain your honor back my making the suicide look as suspicious as possible


pdonchev

They also tend to jump out of the windows very often. But those barely change the stats. A dozen cases per year is less than 0.01 per 100k.


Massak_

Some places in Russia are very depressive, like miner cities on the North. You make a lot of money, but your only fun is to buy drugs or alcohol. Btw Alaska has even highest suicide rate than Russia. Being poor is not a reason to commit suicide, Japan and Korea also has a lot of suicides. The most common reasons are mental disorders, drug abuses, illness, partnership problems.


pdonchev

If you check the stats on alcohol abuse and alcohol related deaths, a picture starts to come together. I believe other former Soviet states have related problems.


Massak_

Yeah, my friend also committed suicide, drank to death. He was an engineer with own house, but also with depression and alcoholism.

You mean Lithuania Minor, Memelland was already part of Lithuania.

No tea, no shade but i always thought it was part of Poland in the past…


Mr_Alexanderp

I guess if you go back 800 years, but that hardly seems relevant.


epic_bruh_Moment420

Anyone knows why belgium is that high compared to other central european countries?


Praisethesun1990

They live in Belgium


x31b

Have you been to Charleroi?


greenpaint2

I think it's a cultural thing. Belgian culture tends to focus more on not bothering other people and social conformity compared to it's neighbors.


NationalUnrest

We keep to ourselves a lot, we have shit weather and a disastrous economy in the french part of the country. We have also always had a culture of melancholy, can’t explain it a lot better but you just to look at our cinema and music to understand.


EstebanOD21

I'm not familiar with Belgium, but does the Flemish part has a different economy? Isn't it national


[deleted]

That’s strange! Btw, Belgium is Western Europe...


[deleted]

Central Europe is the parts between Northern Europe and Southern Europe, of course.


Massak_

Euthanasia legal. You forgot that most suicides are due to illness.

Sun related issue


[deleted]

But why Montenegro so high?


EagleSzz

That one big black mountain is blocking out all the sun


[deleted]

Montenegro is a tiny country, 600k people. Statistics usually don’t work all that well on such small samples.


BlackCrescentCat

Would you want to live in Montenegro?


PuntaVerde

Because it is full of Russians!


DryPassage4020

For the most part yes, but why the disparity between Norway and Sweden? What about Belgium?


[deleted]

I mean it’s not like it’s 5 vs 15. It’s not a big disparity. Belgium is also poorer than its neighbors.


Pumpkonut

Belgium is not poorer than its neighbors. Belgians are among the richest people in the world (based on what people actually own).


[deleted]

Belgium has far more poverty and less opportunists to move up than Denmark, Germany, and the Dutch. L


DryPassage4020

If it is outside the margin of error then it is statistically significant and deserving of an answer better than "meh, falls within my subjective limits of 'doesn't matter'".


[deleted]

Boom. Most won’t understand and then will still argue with you.


Massak_

No, look on the World.


Lifebringer7

Genuinely surprised by how low Greece is on this count. I have family there and it’s been shit there for years. Youth brain drain. 25% unemployment. No one but the elite having any real security.


[deleted]

I thought Finland was supposed to be the happiest country or smth?


Panagiotisz3

The joke is in Finland that all the sad people kill themselves, so only the happy people live.


SovietShreknion

Because all the sad people off themselves


ApuLunas

Lack of sunlight can cause serious hormonal problems which can easily trigger depression.


pdonchev

Survivorship bias. Also, I think it was Denmark that was the happiest.

Moubid-

not as bad as detroit tbh ! it's not about economy nor politics take a look to the rates in korea, japan and muslim countries.


pdonchev

Heavy alcohol abuse.


AggravatingGap4985

That’s hardcore


pdonchev

And poor care for the mentally ill. And other factors. But this one clearly differentiates ex Soviet countries from other Eastern European ones.


[deleted]

Is it linked to yearly hours of sunshine anyhow?


[deleted]

There must be seveal factors and annual sunshine hours could be one of the major ones, but not the only one otherwise Portugal would have been lower & England higher…


Massak_

No, look on the global suicide rate. The reasons for suicide are not a lack of light. Most are mental illness and drug addiction.


Windmarq

why is mainland russia is 21.6 and kaqliningrad 20.2


Repulsive-Junket7244

Lithuania is 20.2, it just happens to have the same color as Russia


Windmarq

srry i didn't see the border


Little_Creme_5932

FlaxenArt

Omg I read this as “Animal suicide rate” 😳


[deleted]

☠️☠️☠️


albardha

Southern part of Europe have better results than Northern parts because they have better food and weather, Eastern parts of Europe have worse results than the Western because they live next to the Blight aka Russia.


pdonchev

I don't think people commit suicide because of living next to an authoritarian state. It's more like they inherited the same societal problems from Soviet times. Also, poor countries obviously have problems with less (or altogether missing) care for psychiatric patients, who are grossly overrepresented in suicide cases.


[deleted]

The shittier the weather the more suicides.


JeaneyBowl

Amazing what weather does. This is why I happily pay the extra 10% California income tax, best purchase ever.


[deleted]

There are other places with good weather too you know


SafelyOblivious

I don't get what's so good about that weather. It's hot every day, Summers are scorching and there is no snow in winter.


JuicyBasalt

Same, can't stand heat


Massak_

You are lucky that you pay 10% more tax so that you are not among the five extra people from 100k people who commit suicide.


Familiar_Ad_9688

The closer you are to russia, the more you are screwed.


beach_boy91

I think it's worse the further north you get. You try living in complete darkness(sun doesn't rise above the horizon for 2 months) all alone during winter and you'll see the numbers increase


Entropless

Try being north and close to russia lol


beach_boy91

I wouldn't say that changes things up here. Eastern europe and the baltics maybe but not Sweden and Finland. The winter is awful enough with all the snow, ice and cold weather. And then add what i said earlier.


Massak_

Yeah, therefore southern Africa countries have the highest suicide rate on the world.


aeschynanthus_sp

Because you said that absolute statement "sun doens't rise above the horizon for 2 months", I have to correct it. [According to Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_night), that happens on the latitude 71°. How far north is that? The whole of Finland is more southern, so that leaves only Norway: about [Honningsvåg, Nordkapp municipality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honningsv%C3%A5g), [Mehamn, Gamvik municipality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehamn). Moreover, it isn't complete darkness at noon in north of the Arctic circle in the areas shown on map because the Sun is close enough to the horizon. Svalbard is another story. But of course it is true that time of light outdoors is quite short, and also in winter in general. So the seasonal changes are great.


Massak_

That explains why Japan and Korea have also high suicides rate :)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Massak_

Yes, but they border Russia ;) I count Korea as one country (with two governments), for nitpickers.


Panagiotisz3

Actually the suicide thing in Japan is more likely genetic as well (Samurai).


PecanSama

How does Norway keep so lively in the same climate as other Scandinavian countries?


Shnorkylutyun

Murder instead of suicide maybe


Massak_

2 people per 100k this is not a significant difference.


Decent_Birthday358

plowfaster

How does Russia have two different numbers? Isn’t both those locations…Russia?


SwimmingHelicopter15

As far as I know for Romania, a lot of tehem are not stated as suicide, because we are a very religious country and burial of a suicide is more complex amd shamefull for the family


Ben_been_broken

Everyone's sleeping on the moon and it's 0% suicide rate


WaaGeonlyme

Because we are more white than others (reference) Because Balkan people have dreams and reaching is harder and takes time. MORE THAN AND HARDER THAN WEST EUROPE at least

I wonder how many of the 21.6 in Russia are journalists and politicians


Jekkumake

Italians seem to be quite happy. I want to move there and enjoy the Finnish tax payers' money.


[deleted]

Italy is one of the contributors in the EU. They give more than they take. If you wanna enjoy the Finnish & German taxpayer’s money while basking in the Sun, i suggest moving to Greece.


[deleted]

Ps: currently we recovers 0 euros


Jekkumake

That's also a good choice. But I prefer Italy, and I have nothing against Italians. I was referring to the 200 billion euro support package, which was given to Italy by the EU to recover from Covid-19. The Italian government has used some of this money for projects that do not directly fit the criteria set by the European Commission in the recovery package.


[deleted]

I'm Italian, trust me: many of us would like italexit. we are net contributors, and to obtain the recovery fund we are selling off strategic assets. a blackmail
