Within the last decade the total suicide rate among European nations have decreased, according to a new report that says increased suicide prevention initiatives may have helped bring down this death rate.
Psychologists in Europe say increased suicide prevention methods may have played a roll in the declining rate of suicide related deaths among European nations within the last decade.by the European Psychiatric Association looked at suicide rates in 38 European countries and concluded that suicide death rates drop 20 per cent within the last decade. In 2011, 20 deaths linked to suicide were reported for every 100,000 people in Europe, however this number dropped to 16 per 100,000 by 2019.
While 22 countries showed unchanged rates, 15 countries have shown significant change particularly Lithuania which has had a significantly high rate since the late 1990s. According to the, Lithuania reported a rate of 31.8 suicides per 100,000 people in 2011 but in 2019 that decreased to 20.2. Of course, since 2020, major global events like the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have likely contributed to changes to these rates, nonetheless the researchers say the results are encouraging.
"Psychiatric disorders are related to an overwhelming proportion of these cases," researcher Anna Gimienez said in a news release. "In the last years, several specific interventions and action plans for suicide prevention have been implemented in a number of European countries, and we believe that these might have had an impact on suicide trends."
