Global Suicide Data

Science has informative data on global suicide statistics. Some of the findings:

-Most countries are seeing declines, for reasons that include restrictions on access to lethal means and improved mental health care.

-Gun deaths in the United States: More than 57% of gun fatalities in the United States in 2017 were suicides, nearly 24,000 people.

-Compared with other age groups, suicides among young people are rare.

-Globally, men are far more likely to die by suicide than women.
