What is the name of the country in which no one ever had committed suicide?
There are approximately 4 countries with no records of suicide reported: -Honduras (since 1978) -Haiti (since 2003) -Antigua and Barbuda (since 1995) -Saint Kitts and Nevis (since 1995) Now, the year that I left at the end of the country was the last year that a suicide was reported to the authorities. It doesn't mean a suicide didn't occur after that; perhaps it was just not reported to the police. Other countries with low suicide rates include the Bahamas, Peru, and Iran.
How many young people commit suicide per year?
Approximately 1100 college ages students, and 1 in 10 consider suicide each year. In some areas of the country rates are higher... The highest rates of suicide occur on Native American reservations, where there is a suicide or two a week on most. The next highest rates occur in Appalachia.Further to the above response, Joiner (2005:163-164) states that in 2000, suicide was the third leading cause of death for young people in USA, while it was only the eleventh leading cause of death overall. Greene (1994) found that for children between the ages of 5 and 14 in the USA, suicide ranked between the third and the sixth most frequent cause of death. Greene (1994) offered six "myths and misconceptions" around child suicide that fed into the generalised denial in society about this tragic phenomenon. Feigelman and Gorman (2008) researched the impact of peer suicide on youth suicide by friends of the deceased. They found that the short term effect of such a traumatic bereavement was increased survivors' depression and suicidality but that, fortunately, this effect was NOT maintained over time. The very helpful World Health Organisation (WHO) report (2000) "Preventing suicide a resource for teachers and other school staff" is available online.
Suicides among individuals with no known previous suicide attempt or mental illness?
It's possible they have an undiagnosed mental illness. If not, the individual may have just suffered an extended period of stress in their life that turned them from a generally happy person into a potential suicide. Typically, suicides do not just occur for no reason or without warning signs.
What is the main cause of suicide?
The leading cause of suicide is hard to determine with any accuracy, as there are many complicating factors. The mental health condition primarily associated with the highest suicide risk is type 1 Bipolar Affective Disorder, when the patient is in the depressive or mixed state phases. It is also regularly seen in Major Depressive Disorder and to a lesser extent Schizophrenia and some personality disorders. Increased risk factors for successful suicide attempts, in addition to the fact that the suicidal patient is mentally ill, are usually some combination of the following factors; the successful suicide is twice as likely to be male as female; the deceased had a history of suicide in their family; the deceased had alcohol and drug problems; the deceased had access to weapons; the deceased was in his or her twenties; the deceased was in a profession with a high risk of suicide; the deceased came from a culture with a tolerant view of suicide. Unsuccessful attempts tend to be made by females, (who are twice as likely to attempt suicide as males) and the attempts tend to occur while the patient is in their teens.
Do sociopaths ever attempt suicide?
Yes. Sociopaths commit suicide. But, not for the same reason that a non sociopath would. My cousin's son has been professionally diagnosed by paid counselors, Psychologists and Psychiatrists. He committed suicide last week end. Prior to that, he was becoming progressively violent to his family and friends. His girlfriend could no longer accept his physical abuse & began to threaten to leave him. He counter threatened, if you leave me, I'll hang myself with THIS rope. Because a Sociopath has no conscience of right and wrong, they seem to be unable to control their inappropriate and abusive behavior. They also don't seem to have an ability to process or rationalize the consequence of their actions. Therefore, an act to commit suicide doesn't address the sociopath with the same finality it would for a non sociopath. The thought that a suicide and the consequences of carrying that suicide out, wouldn't occur to a sociopath. It wouldn't occur to him or even bother him if he could think about it, that this action is a final action and there are no 'do overs'. For a Sociopath, this is an act to control, hurt and destroy. It is not an act of depression but rather of rage.
