Suicide Rates in The Uk

While I was trying to find something about the Beachy Head, I happen to find this intersting article about suicide rates in the Uk.. Quite shocking as you will notice while reading, but you cannot prevent people from doing such silly things...


  • Between 1998 and 2004, Scotland had the highest
    suicide rates for men in all age groups. During the same
    period, Scotland had the highest suicide rate for women
    aged under 75 while London had the highest rate for
    women aged 75 and over.

  • In 1998-2004, the ten local areas with the highest suicide
    rates for men in the UK were all in Scotland, while for
    women seven of the ten local areas with the highest rates
    were in Scotland.

  • The highest local area suicide rates for men for Scotland
    were in the Shetland Islands, for Northern Ireland in
    Belfast North, for England in Blackpool, and for Wales in
    Denbighshire. Among women, the highest local area
    rates for Scotland were in Glasgow City, for England in
    Camden, for Wales in Conwy, and for Northern Ireland in
    Belfast West.
