Why are suicide rates rising?

[Febo]

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?

If you look at suicide rates in some least developed countries you will realise the answer by yourself. There is almost no suicides in South Sudan. More that our life is secure less we cherish our life and higher is chance to make a suicide. I know one friend had suicide tensions, then she had cancer and since her life was in danger she totally overcome here suicide problems.  You simply dont value your life enough if you dont come to a situation to lose it.

COVID really ruined everything this year, people lost jobs , some others lost bussineses its really sad, GOVS should be funding everyone until economy is stabilized

Also the outlook for next year is not that good. Everyone wants 2020 to end but who knows how 2021 will look like. There is still no 100% security that a vaccine will be available for everyone. It's very sad to hear when people don't see any way forward except taking their own life. They might be ending their own suffering, but creating new suffering for their friends and family.

This gives me a lot to think about over the years cause I find it so hard to believe an individual would kill him/her self but I came to conclusions with some reasons:
1.oppressions from friends or family
2.low level of thinking
3.frustration

There is ONE basic reason for suicide increases. People are turning away from God and His laws, and aren't teaching their children about God and His laws.

God's laws are the way things work. It doesn't do any damage to God if we don't obey His laws... even though it DOES hurt His emotions. Rather, it does damage to us. Why? Because God's laws are laws of the way things work. Obey them or have trouble in life. You can't shoot yourself in the foot and expect to not have a foot injury. It's God's laws embedded in physics laws. It's simply the way things work.

Probably many - or most, or all - people who commit suicide, will not find favor with God in the resurrection. Maybe the greater number of them will be lost to Hell forever. Why? Because most suicide doesn't allow a time of repentance, where a person can be sorry that he has cause a murder. Without repentance, there is no getting back into the good graces of God.

How can a person repent if he doesn't even know God exists? or if he doesn't understand about the love of God? Parents need to train their children about God so that they can be saved.

A German psychologist once said

Hope sustain life, hopelessness causes death

I believe people are committing suicide because they lose all hopes and they cannot go on and they don't have interest for living, so it's important that we in the family should always look for our family members if one of them are losing hope in life because it cause to commit suicide.

People become anti social due to the technology development which makes them to connect with the virtual world more than the reality like social media attraction.So people who don't have enough maturity attempting to give up for lot of reason even if it is a minor thing.

Recently India banned lot of chinese apps which includes a famous battle ground game called PUBG and yesterday two boys with the age of 21 and 16 suicide themselves because of this depression.

That's why mental health is very important especially during this trying time. The world is under so much struggle and every single one of us is affected. We're forced to stay at home and might even spend time alone more often if we're away from our loved ones. Keeping in touch with them can help us fight the depression caused by the current problem. We have the technology to help us do that (reach out to others) so we better make use of it - the right way. Suicide is serious. So let us also connect to our friends and families from time to time so that we would know that we are not alone in this battle and that we can survive this.

In the countries with the high level of life everyday's tempo is big and requierments towards people are huge. People begin to think that this is normal and when they see they they don't manage this tempo they think that they are not okay, that they just don't fit into this world. But this is a cruel illusion.

Please correct me if there is an error in my explanation.
based on some of the articles I read, Then I tried to conclude that there are 5 common factors that encourage someone to commit suicide.
1) Bipolar disorder
People with bipolar disorder experience drastic mood swings. What was once very happy and excited can suddenly turn into sadness, lack of excitement, and even depression. These people have a 20 times higher risk of committing suicide when compared to normal people.

2) Depresi mayor
Ada berbagai macam depresi, mulai dari yang berat hingga yang ringan. Ciri-ciri seseorang yang mengalami depresi berat adalah merasa putus asa, sedang dalam mood yang buruk, merasa lelah, atau kehilangan minat dan motivasi dalam hidup.

3) Anoreksia nervosa
Menjauhi makanan sebisa mungkin dan selalu berbohong bahwa mereka tidak lapar atau sudah makan, itulah tanda-tanda pengidap anoreksia nervosa.

4) Threshold Personality Disorders
This disorder is also called borderline personality disorder (BPD). The main sign that someone has borderline personality disorder is self-harm.

5) Schizophrenia
Frequent hallucinations, changes in behavior or believing in things that are not true are signs of a person with schizophrenia.

Why are suicide rates rising?


People have been reading more and more success books and stories. So they just know that they won't fail.

I could have given you merit if you cited links.   I've never thought about suicide, but these topics interest me since I dealt with a lot of survivors of suicide (the family/friends left behind).

This topic is old, but bumped I assume due to Corona.  Suicide is a personal decision - but one that is often made in haste.    It's so sad to hear of incredible people who kill themselves over a temporary situation.

As we are still in pandemic period, depression will be one of the root causes of why individual will commit suicide. And yes, if there is weak to no support from his family or close friends, this depression will eat him away that the only option that he can think of is to end his life. Sad but true. I hope people will keep their positive mantra during this challenging period in humanity.

According to economists the main problem is the mass explosion the effects of the epidemic are pushing people to commit more suicides. As the world's population continues to grow year after year it is only natural that there will be a shortage of income. Unemployment is rising by leaps and bounds the gap between the education rate and the employment rate is huge. People are having to work up a sweat because of the rising cost of family reunions even then it is not going to rise properly due to this family unrest and frustration are consuming.

[Renampun]

on average, those who commit suicide are those who find themselves dissatisfied with reality...
not satisfied because love runs aground = will commit suicide, dissatisfied because are unable to take care of the family's economy = will kill suicide, not satisfied because are unable to pay debt = will commit suicide. those who have the potential to commit suicide usually have weak faith, are very sensitive and lack attention. so monitor your family members and give them attention so that they are able to face life's uncertainties and do not want to commit suicide.

Suicide is just a brave decision by a coward but yes they are giving up on the temporary problems and also facing the problem in the loneliness made them to feel in that way.

I think the reason for suicide rates to increased it's numbers because these people wants to escape their life problems that it is hard for them live on other people's expectations, and it is hard for them to achieve success in life, even they are working hard. I don't judge people who have committed suicide because it is really hard to live an unfair life that you don't get the life on what you see on other people's life, even you are extremely working hard for it.

The consequences of economic conditions and the deterioration of living conditions put people at risk of suicide suffering from mental problems due to financial crisis due to economic consequences and committing suicide due to mental illness. The tendency to commit suicide among women does not go far enough to meet the aspirations of girls in a more institutionalized structure the pressure of worldly and social expectations the lack of financial self-reliance marriage at a young age and motherhood at a young age 8 is a suffocating condition in the life of girls that pressure falls on the mind.

Depression really did helped a lot in the all time high number of suicides now. Because of this pandemic, lots of people are stucked inside their houses and cannot do what they usually do to cope up with their depressions. There are studies that points depression as the number one reason for the suicides that are occuring in every country, and there are persons who doesn't know that they are having this and can't help themselves.

The rise of suicide rate during this time is mainly due to the depression caused out of the prevailing financial issues. Another important reason for the same is the loneliness, and missing the opportunities to meet the loved ones and share the difficulties and the mind murmer. Apart from this work from home creates mental pressure, because people are requested to spend more hours to work than working on an office.
