A new report indicates more than 800,000 people takes their own lives every year – worldwide. That’s one person every 40 seconds. According to a new World Health Organization report, more men die by suicide than women. The report found that suicides take place all over the world and at almost any age. However, suicide rates are highest in people aged 70 and over but in some countries, the highest rates are found among young people. WHO Director Margaret Chan says the agency’s first report on suicide prevention is a “call for action to address a large public health problem”. The organizations report was published ahead of world suicide prevention day on September 10.
