“I’m a bad person.”
“Nothing
matters
anymore”
“Its no use.”
“I won’t see you again.”
“I won’t be a problem for you much longer.”

For the
group 15-
34 years of
age,
suicide is
today one
of the
three
leading
causes of
death in all
countries…
In the United
States (2001)
suicide was
the third
leading cause
of death,
among people
between 15
and 24 years
of age, with a
rate of
9.9/100,000.
The two
leading
causes was
accidental
injuries and
homicide.
![Page 24: Suicide](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558902c9d8b42a941b8b461d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The suicide rate in Sweden, for this age group, is similar to the American rate. In Sweden, however, the total number of deaths by suicide has dropped significantly since the 1980s, except for this specific group.
![Page 25: Suicide](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558902c9d8b42a941b8b461d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The United States
and Sweden still
have a relatively
low rate for this
group, compared to
the average number
in Europe. The
European suicide
rate is 22.2 for boys
and 4.8 for girls, or
around 13 in
average.
![Page 26: Suicide](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558902c9d8b42a941b8b461d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In Europe
statistics are
collected from
33 countries.
The latest
avaliable data
for the group
15-24 years of
age, shows
that the
Russian
federation is
at the top of
the list
(32/100,000),
followed by
Lithuania,
Finland, Latvia
and Slovenia.
Sweden (which
can be
compared with
the U. S.) is,
according to
this list, in 18th
place (with less
than
10/100,000). In
the bottom of
the list are
Great Britain,
Spain, Portugal,
Italy and last
Greece
(3/100,000).

It is uncertain how many suicide attempts there are for each suicide death. Different studies estimate a number between 10 and 20. In general, there are more attempts per suicide among women and younger people..
![Page 28: Suicide](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558902c9d8b42a941b8b461d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Research also show that around 80 percent of attempted suicides among young people are preceded by clear warning signs.
![Page 29: Suicide](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558902c9d8b42a941b8b461d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Counting the total population, the highest suicide rates are found in eastern Europe. On top is Lithuania (74.3 for men and 13.9 for women), Russia (69.3/11.9) and Belarus (63.3/10.3).
After follows Kazakhstan, Estonia, Sri Lanka, Hungary, Slovenia, Ukraine and Latvia.
![Page 30: Suicide](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/558902c9d8b42a941b8b461d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
For some other countries the latest suicide rates are as follows: Sweden (18.9/8.1), Finland (31.9/9.8), Germany (20.4/7.0), Great Britain (10.8/3.1), U. S. (17.6/4.1) and
Japan (35.2/12.8).

(2003): "In 2003, a total of 28,723 persons died of drug-induced causes in the United States. The category 'drug-induced causes' includes not only deaths from dependent and nondependent use of drugs (legal and illegal use), but also poisoning from medically prescribed and other drugs. It excludes unintentional injuries, homicides, and other causes indirectly related to drug use.
