I was surprised to learn the suicide rates were so much higher before WWII. I suppose that's not too shocking given the events of the time, however I never see todays suicide rates noted in that context.
- biophysboy 7y agoWait, were they low during WWII? Or did they drop after?
- DanBC 7y agoThe highest risk group - men aged between 18 to 41 - were conscripted. It's likely that counting of deaths was disrupted by the war, and it was already inconsistent because of the criminality of suicide and the desire of coroners to "protect" the relatives from a highly stigmatising suicide verdict.
