Hungary holds sad record in suicide rates

According to recent OECD figures, Hungary and South Korea have the highest suicide rate among the world's developed nations, reports EUobserver.com.

It is in Hungary out of all the EU countries, that people are the most likely to take their own lives: out of every 100,000 inhabitants, 21 kill themselves. It is just a fraction less than in South Korea on 21.5.

There is cause for optimism in the long term that Hungary will one day cease to be Europe's suicide capital. In the 19 years after the fall of the Communist regime, 15,000 fewer Hungarians killed themselves than in the 19 years before reports EUobserver.com.
