Introduction
Suicide is a major public health concern worldwide and it is estimated that over 700,000 people die by suicide each year. Suicide rates can vary widely across countries and are influenced by a range of factors, including social, cultural, economic, and psychological factors such as depression. While some countries, such as India and Singapore, have relatively low suicide rates, other nations, like Lesotho or Guyana, suffer from high suicide rates. Lithuania and South Korea also have high suicide rates with rates of 26.1 and 28.6 per 100,000 population respectively. Regarding European countries, many Western European countries have seen a decrease in their suicide rates over recent years – including countries like France, Germany, and Italy – while certain Eastern European nations – such as Russia and Ukraine – have experienced sharp rises in suicides since the 1990s. Similarly, America’s suicide rate has seen a rise in recent years, with a current rate of 16.1 per 100,000.

Country With Highest Suicide Rate
Lesotho is the country with the highest suicide rate in the world, with a rate of 72.4 suicides per 100,000 people. This figure represents a significant number of lives lost to suicide in Lesotho, a small country located in Southern Africa. The high suicide rate in the country may be related to several factors, such as poverty, unemployment, and limited access to mental health services. The country has also one of the highest poverty rates in the world, and a large percentage of the population lives in rural areas with limited access to healthcare facilities. In addition, Lesotho has a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, which can have a significant impact on mental health and increase the risk of suicide.

Lesotho is the country with the highest suicide rate with 72.4 suicides per 100,000 people. This high suicide rate can be attributed to a number of factors including poverty, unemployment, and a lack of access to mental health care.

In addition, Lesotho has a high rate of HIV/AIDS, which can contribute to depression and other mental health issues.

Norway is the forty-sixth country with the highest suicide rate, with 11.8 suicides per 100,000 people. Although Norway has one of the highest standards of living and is considered a welfare state, it is known for its long, dark winters, which can cause seasonal affective disorder (SAD) in some individuals. SAD is a type of depression that occurs during the winter months, and it can be a contributing factor to suicide. Additionally, there is a higher prevalence of alcohol abuse and drug addiction in Norway compared to other Scandinavian countries, which can also contribute to a higher suicide rate.

China is the 79th country with the highest suicide rate, with 8.1 suicides per 100,000 people. Suicide rates in China are higher in rural areas than in urban areas, and among older adults, particularly in rural areas. Factors that contribute to suicide in China include the rapid modernization and social changes that have occurred in recent decades, which have led to economic and social inequalities, as well as changes in family structure and social support systems. Furthermore, there is still a cultural stigma surrounding mental illness and seeking help for mental health issues in China, which may discourage individuals from seeking treatment.

The Philippines is the 169th country with the highest suicide rate, with 2.2 suicides per 100,000 people. Suicide rates in the Philippines are relatively low compared to other countries and are influenced by factors such as poverty, unemployment, and social inequality. The Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country, and religious beliefs may discourage suicide. However, there is still a lack of mental health services and resources in the Philippines, particularly in rural areas, which may prevent individuals from receiving the support and treatment they need for mental health issues.
