Topic: Why are suicide rates rising? - page 3. (Read 751 times)

There are many reasons for that, unfortunately recently its been on high alerts in many countries. Suicide rates will continue to rise, sadly to say.

Increasing sense of isolation among young people, rise of technology - internet for example - people are staying connected without meeting live and seeing other people's lives on fb for instance are better then theirs, and so on.

Drug abuse & alcoholism.

Pressure at all levels, work, family and so on, constant stress, lack of money.

All this and many other reasons brings to high level of depression so that people cant handle it.

The reason behind suicide is depression, depression is induced by variety of reasons .
I have red several views of psychologist which are similar to my view that it many cases that it all starts with abuse of PC and phones and any electronic device which allows you to disappear in this virtual reality.

If child is sitting 2,3,4 or even 6 hours a day by PC,gaming, face-booking , watching movies, he is degrading himself. The child is not evolving in to normal human being, he is developing 10s of complexes , it makes him uncomfortable in human interactions, it makes him not to want to do sports. This could make him anti -social and anxious, and in general it degrades his ability to connect with humans and furthermore in a lot of cases these kind of people have extreme difficulty to find friends and even more their second half . This often leads to depression and we all know what can come next.

Are you kidding me , heartbreak is something new for people in your country?
What is a Nuclear family?
Drugs are not a reason but indicator of deeper problems.

I just do not know why this is happening. But I can definitely say that this problem continues to increase due to the family's envelopment.

For there mental health, or simply for there survival maybe
Imagine you trying to expose to a mental disorders specialist what's happen to you when you are in addition of this in a point of depression, a depression isn't something as bad as it seems. The most of you need is help to stabilize your mind to can surpass what you are in, it's what a psychologist is supposed to found you with.
In clear terms, the equation give:  lack of money = (more pressure, more problems) = less chances to get your self out . Nowadays that's what have more chances to happen!

Money is certainly a factor but I don’t think it’s due to low wages at all. People are committing suicide because they are depressed and when they don’t have the money for their mental health they tend to commit suicide because of that. If more people are taking great care of the psychological issues suicide would definitely go down.

Because there isen't enough space to do otherwise than to kill his-self (relatively) ! ??

The biggest reason for suicide is the lack of money.  People can barely afford to survive anymore with these lw wages, its next to impossible to buy a house with today's wages, this is causing mass depression, people can't even get anywhere if they work hard.

I believe in this as what I believe the reason is, is the inhumanity that most of us possess right now. We loss the value of caring to others. But also, the reason can also be internal as a person who tries to kill therirselves have low tolerance to problem and probably pessimistic.

The straightforward reason suicide has been dismissed for so long is shame. It is a human conduct that alarms a great many people. Suicide is wrongly observed as a character or good blemish or even an evil demonstration. It is seen as something despicable that must be covered up.

We live in a doomed world. If you're smart enough, you know that our future is more than likely bleak. Due to climate change most people are very likely to starve to death.

One of the biggest factors for suicide in India is when farmers can't produce food. There is a ridiculous number of farmer suicides in India (although the major cause is likely debt another cause is drought)

Farmer suicides in India are about 15,000 per year.


Another reason, perhaps a silly one is that suicide is trendy and the media's ethics have loosened on reporting suicide. When a famous person commits suicide tons more people will do it. We've had an increasing amount of such things being covered on the news. E.G. Linkin Park's Chester Bennington.


Then there is the rising cost of living compared to the stagnant wages, and that might be the greatest one.

All our costs are rising but our wages are not.


Then there is the availability of information on suicide which has grown dramatically with the Internet. I'm sure there's tutorial on Carbon Monoxide, Hanging, bleeding to death etc out on the Internet.


Then there is the closure of Institutions for the insane in the United States. Without such institutions a lot more people are going to commit suicide because they don't have people watching over them.

Another reason might be good old lead consumption through drinking water. We sure as hell have a lead problem in the US. There's also other pollutants that might cause it and obesity and depression go hand in hand. When your brain tells you you're a worthless sack of shit, it sure as hell doesn't help being 100 pounds overweight.

Most of what they have watched or seen in the social media which they thought they have the same way of experience and make it as an idea that if they will end there lives it will be the best solution to solve their problems. I hope these people will realized and open up their minds how much important to live than to commit suicide without thinking about the future outcomes.

most of the suicides in my country are more to welfare or can be said to be related to money. even spread to murder cases.although on the other hand there are also cases of suicide in the background by love cases.
from year to year the number of suicides is indeed decreasing, and I hope no more people die in vain.
 

I'm not sure on the statistical data on suicide rates, but..

I think low serotonin levels have an important factor in suicide levels too, places like Northern Scandinavia suffer from low sunlight during winter months, 6months of dull bleak weather doesn't help with vitamin D production, which is needed for conversion into serotonin. This is why for example in Latvia where I am a lot of people like myself take vitamin D drops during the dark winter months. 

Suicidal actions done by people, based on my opinion is just a way to escape not from depression but rather from society. Depression is an emotion felt by humans when they are under a certain level of pressure or stress. Pressure or stress, comes in one way or another, from society. Its basically us killing each other. Depriving myself of my life was once a thought that came to my mind all because of a regret that i had that pained me so much.

Here in our country, those who commit suicide are in the higher class of living. Yes, they suffer from depression which the family of the victim never saw. Some also commit suicide to run away from so much expectation and problems such as financial, school, and family problems.

I think those who commit suicide has low tolerance when it comes to problems; they tend to overthink which sometimes lead to depression.

In general, suicide is accompanied by a major depression. Depression can in turn be caused by many causes. For each individual case, its cause. If in general to draw a conclusion then the lower the person's standard of living, the greater the likelihood of suicide. Although I do not know how to independently deprive myself of life It is necessary to be a sick person.

Suicide rates are rising because people feel like they'll never be good enough. In a world where we can see the awesome everyday lives of good-looking, rich people on social media, users are constantly aware of their inadequacies and comparing themselves. This, coupled with a degenerate society where few things of substance (family, morals, true education) are sacred, makes it harder to find meaning.

Those that pull the levers of the mechanisms of society deem it useful to maximize stress, panic, and confusion in the general population so they kill themselves rather than those running things. This also makes it really easy to push people into war or other totalitarian programs.

Suicide rates are rising because I think that people are become inhumane. I believe that interactions among human beings, be it - as a family, friend, classmates, workmates, neighbors, and etc, must be in good terms and what makes it in good terms is the humanity, and I think that is now being underrated today. People nowadays tend to hate each other, to not care for each other, we are becoming cruel without wven noticing what really is the situation of others. Furthermore, suicide rates are incrrasing due to lack of communication, understanding, tolerance, and acceptance. And with all of those negativity around, it is more easy to see things that's against the light.

I was recently looking over the numbers regarding suicide rates and the numbers are at an al ltime high!  What do you think is the reason  for the increased amount of suicides?
