The International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are co-sponsoring World Suicide Pr evention Day on September 10th. The theme of this 11th anniversary event i s “Stigma: A Major Barrier for Suicide Prevention.”
\nAccording to t he WHO and the latest Burden of Disease Estimation\, suicide is a major pu blic health problem in high-income countries and is an emerging problem in low- and middle-income countries. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the world\, especially among young people. Nearly one million pe ople worldwide die by suicide each year. This corresponds to one death by suicide every 40 seconds. The number of lives lost each year through suici de exceeds the number of deaths due to homicide and war combined. These st aggering figures do not include nonfatal suicide attempts which occur much more frequently than deaths by suicide.
