10 Countries With The Highest Suicide Rates in The World
Nobody besides themselves would know what goes on in their minds a few minutes before taking their own life, by their own hands. It has been said throughout time and religious scriptures that a person’s soul would never be at rest if they die before it was their time, worse off if they have killed themselves or have been murdered. Some countries have such highest suicide rates that the whole country is haunted by the dead. Basically to say, anything of an un-natural death would leave an angry soul wondering around for decades, if not centuries according to some stories in Folklore that even reported certain incidences of people who are dubbed as the ‘un-dead’ that come to haunt the living due to the unhappiness of their short lived lives. While folklore and Ghosts may remain a phantom of mystery and everlasting stories to be told throughout time from generation to generation. Suicide is a reality. Many people ranging from the smallest to the oldest of people for many reasons unknown or known, have done it.
Here is a list of 10 countries with the highest suicide rates which includes male, female, suicide of mysterious reasons and suicide for reasons that can be reckoned with.
10. Kazakhstan
A country that’s somewhat ‘ghostly’ to the world as it isn’t actually a name that would instantly pop when in thought of Countries in general, however suicide in Kazakhstan is one of the biggest newsflash unfortunate events that occur. Kazakhstan holds tenth position among the countries with the highest suicide rates in the world. 86 Teenagers have committed suicide over a period of 5 months in Kazakhstan and all children here were minors under the age of 18 years old and we would think, what stresses would somebody that isn’t even of a legal age have to have gone to the extent of suicide? Well most of these cases could be traced back to common issues such as failure in examinations and not being strong enough to face the embarrassment of the people. Failure in general however, isn’t the end of the world, somebody would only fail if they stop trying. Other related incidences that lead to suicide would include: feeling of extreme loneliness, Conflict at schools that may have created hostility in a child or family conflicts.
9. Nepal
According to reports from Nepali Police, there has been a staggering amount in the number of people committing suicide in Nepal after a horrendous earthquakes that took place at which had an influential impact that caused around 965 people to take their lives by their own hands, instead of being killed by one of the strongest forces of nature. These earthquakes have taken place in April 2015 which may also explain that if people took their lives this year, it would simply be to reasons of missing or not being able to deal in the loss of their loved ones during those tragic incidences etc. Turning it into on of those countries with the highest suicide rates.
This obviously ought to have stricken the fear of god in them and there isn’t a human being on earth that would not fear a ground shaking event that may cause a house to fall on top of them and all that they love, crushing down everything else they’ve spent their entire lives building or having in their possession. Police data of Nepal also reported that more than 4000 people commit suicide each year and majority fall under the categories of Natural disaster related fears or grievances while the rest may fall under reasons of poverty as well. Natural disasters cannot be controlled by humans however humans do have the power to control their own actions against their lives.
8. Tanzania
There’s a devil that resides in Tanzania and nope were not talking about the world known ‘Tanzanian Devil’. The ‘Devil’ in this case would be the increase in suicide rates that keep fluctuating as the years pass. Most of these fluctuations are caused by increments instead of seeing a decrease. The suicide rates in Tanzania is enough to Alarm the concern of psychiatrists, physiologists and other professionals who are ‘Mind’ experts and arouses the anticipation and contemplation of the reason behind the rate of suicide and its increase as far as where Tanzanian locals are concerned. Within a period of 5 years, Tanzania has the highest suicide rates and has seen the deaths of 3420 incidences of suicide consisting of majority in men and women and minority occupied in the numbers of minors below the age of 18 years old. Some notable reasons behind these suicides traces back to young girls and social problems they face on a daily basis of course inflicting stress of levels that they cannot take anymore and due to incurable diseases that one would choose not to live with such as HIV/AIDS etc.
7. Mozambique
A country with an Ak-47 on its flag, waves a striking statement of it being a war zone and where every man must be a solider to be uncivilized in a civilization of people. Seeing this would come across to the world as a symbol of not having any hope. Ruthlessness, aggression, defense and civil war is the name of the game as far as some parts of Mozambique is concerned. With Mozambique also being one of the poorest and under-developed in Africa which means that they are bound to encounter a series of issues and life lowering things that contribute to their eventual resorting of suicide. The country has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Example, not everybody would have proper sanitation in the rural areas and would have to walk miles and miles to get to a river where they can contract Malaria and other water infected diseases.
Rape is also a crime that occurs in Mozambique and although less frequent as other countries, it does happen, which would be traumatic to the victim that will commit suicide out of that life destroying incident. Mozambique has been rendered as the “Number 1 suicide Nation in Africa’. Due to being poverty stricken and prone to all kinds of incurable and chronic diseases, suicide In Mozambique isn’t an uncommon thing that could happen.
6. Suriname
A country with staunch beliefs and Indian family traditions is so powerful and painful at the same time that due to how strict some of it is, it can drive a person to take their lives making Suriname one of those countries with the highest suicide rates. Indian females especially have the hardest time since arranged marriages that turn out unlucky, or the worst situation where they aren’t married at all brings a shame to the family background and they are usually burnt alive, dismembered, raped, murdered or disfigured with acid thrown on their skin etc. as well as other torturous and heinous things done to them. Women as beautiful as they may be are more prone to take their own lives at an instance without second thought, rather than to die in a despicable inhumane manner by cruel men or because they couldn’t comply to traditions of society in Suriname. Apart from this, Suriname is also a poor country and locals have a hard time making a living as well with contributing factors of sexual exploitation, health, child labor and lack of education as well.
5. Lithuania
Lithuania once had the highest official rate of suicides in the world that seemed to have topped Spain and the United States of America put together at shocking numbers. It has also been noted that the rate of suicide in Lithuania is twice as high in rural areas. The common reason for most suicides is due to peoples circumstances example : alcoholism, alcohol abuse, drug consumption of dosages that the body is unable to handle, therefore affecting their overall mindset and with an overload of their situations and circumstances that somebody would think off at any particular moment, may be enough to drive somebody to an early death.
Poverty in Lithuania is so severe that the people who you would find walking the streets, digging in rubbish bins, sleeping on sidewalks or lying under cardboards in rags and torn clothes have spoken out that they once had lives and jobs, were well nourished etc. however the ‘communist past’ has a lot to do with how and why they are this way now. Hope in this Country is far from majority of the suffering persons mind and seems to be an extreme contributing factor that motivates them to take the final step of pulling the cord on their lives.
