I just read on New Scientist that suicide accounts for 1.5% of all deaths worldwide. That means that every 40 seconds or so, someone kills him/herself!! Also, anorexia has the highest death rate of all known mental illnesses… someone who is suffering from anorexia is 50 to 60 times more inclined to kill him/herself!
General suicide, however, is the second leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 24. Women are more likely to attempt suicide, though men succeed more often than women…. ah well.
