Suicide Prevention
The National Suicide Prevention Program (NaSPro) recently published the current suicide data for Germany.
In 2022, over 10,000 people died by suicide! That’s more deaths than from traffic accidents, murder and manslaughter, illegal drugs and AIDS combined! Unbelievable?!
And even though suicidality is a highly complex phenomenon, studies show that the risk of suicide is increased in all mental illnesses. According to NaSPro, a whopping 40 to 60% of those who died by suicide were judged to be depressed!
