TheVat Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Perhaps google something like correlation between suicide rate and month. I have heard there's a peak in late spring and early summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensei Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 @Saber It all depends on the details. When it's winter in the northern hemisphere, it's summer in the southern hemisphere. So, get Australia etc. data, and analyze it, compare with northern hemisphere country.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard the same, for N Europe, I think. But that graph looks as if it may be for the US. Possibly the pressures are seasonally different there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The population who lives in the south is so low i dont think its significant enough to have any affect on the global graphs.....nd nearly all of them live in the latitudes who dont have winter.....only in NZ & the southern parts of Argentina + Chile....and maybe some mild winter in Victoria & Tasmania of Aus. all of them wouldnt add up to 45M people = 0.5% of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the pressures are seasonally different there. The water is cold in winter, so people who want to commit suicide by jumping into the river are afraid of dying from freezing, not drowning.. ps. The availability of weapons in the U.S. (and similar places) makes the situation different than in the rest of the world.. ps2. There are a lot of people in the US who are afraid to be alone, so they take a few people with them.. Edited May 27 by Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of people in the US who are afraid to be alone, so they take a few people with them.. There is also the opioid crisis in the US, which I understand results in suicides. https://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/director/messages/2019/suicide-deaths-are-a-major-component-of-the-opioid-crisis-that-must-be-addressed But I can't account for the seasonality. On looking into it briefly, I am unable to substantiate what I had previously understood about a suicide peak in winter in N Europe. It may be that that is just a popular myth.

Sensei Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) @exchemist Understandable. The myth found me (Google gave it). It is purely US issue. Here not existent. I know nobody who takes any opioids (legally or illegally).. 47 minutes ago, exchemist said: There is also the opioid crisis in the US, which I understand results in suicides. ..but they are depressants.. i.e., they make a person less active, less agitated, sleepy.. etc. It is hard to commit suicide if you are drunk and almost sleeping, as long as you have no easy access to weapons (and bike/motor/car)..

It's not the drug they use, that's the issue, it's that they are taking them for a reason; and that reason is often depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
