''Suicide is New Zealand's silent epidemic. The country has the highest youth suicide rates in the developed world – five times that of Britain and twice as high as Australia.''

I just read an article about the suicides over there, I didnt realise the numbers were so high.

It's big over here.. even in my small town we've had atleast 6 suicides in th last 2 years n the attempts on top of that are high numbers.

Three at one train station in one day is wildly sad

What's the main reason for the youth being so depressed/suicidal over there? Being a european i rarely hear about NZ.

As someone severely damaged (tortured) by psychiatric medication. I know over prescribing is problem there. The side effects include depression anxiety suiicdal thoughts. And this description does no justice to what can happen in body brain.

Our suiside rate is really high for some reason. I have no idea why though. We always come out well in quality of life and liveable country type lists (not that that is the only thing obviously).
Does anyone have a link to this story? I'm interested because it's my country.
