Abstract
The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated that in 2012 around 800,000 people world-wide were dying by suicide annually, and that for every death about 20 suicide attempts were being made. Further, suicide was the second leading cause of death for 15 to 29-year-olds globally. In 2016, there were an estimated 793,000 suicide deaths worldwide representing an annual global age-standardised suicide rate of 10.5 per 100,000 population.
