> According to WHO, the suicide rate in the UK is 11 per 100,000 males and 3.2 per 100,000 females. In the US it`s 19.3 per 100,000 males and 4.4 per 100,000 females. Highest rate in the world is Lithuania with 73,7 males and 13.7 females per 100,000, lowest rate is in Sao Tome Principe, wherever the heck that is. Cecilia
Anyone any ideas why it's higher in the US than UK even though far less meds are dished out? (although the female rate isn't that different). Does that mean I should give up on the whole medication thing?
