There is an increase in suicides in Kazakhstan

In 2019, Kazakhstan was in 20th place in the ranking in terms of the number of suicides. The place in the rating was not the worst, but two years have passed and the situation has changed significantly. In two months of 2022, the number of suicide attempts and suicides in Kazakhstan has increased. Suicides increased by 27.6%, suicide attempts - by 10.1%. The published data was confirmed by the head of the National Center for Public Health. The statistics were compiled on the basis of data from the General Prosecutor's Office of Kazakhstan, according to which, from 2015 to 2021, there has been an increase in the number of suicides and suicide attempts in the country.

Over the last 2 months of 2022, the statistics of suicidal cases began to increase rapidly compared to the same period last year. Experts in the field of psychology and psychiatry believe that the rates are rising due to events in the world. On the oqu.news website you will find the latest news from Kazakhstan and Almaty

Suicide dynamics

The dynamics of the number of suicides and suicide attempts among children and adolescents under 18 years of age began to decline. Among the adult population of Kazakhstan, suicide statistics have increased. For 2021 and 2022, desperate attempts to settle scores are made by adults (from 20 to 45 years old).

It is impossible to completely eradicate suicidal tendencies in people. There are a number of signs that give out a person prone to commit suicide:

• abrupt changes in behavior;
• desire to be alone all the time;
• emotional outbursts;
• depression (decreased appetite and lack of sleep);
• increased feelings of anxiety and hopelessness;
• guilt;
• loss of interest in life;
• excessive manifestation of interest in the topic of death, increased attention to the occult;
• alcohol consumption;
• family history of suicide.

To prevent suicidal tendencies in yourself (or a loved one), you must constantly work on your inner state. It is important to lead a healthy lifestyle: balance work and leisure. Often fights are due to parents pushing their kids to the point where they can't handle it. On this basis, they begin to run away from home in order to scare their parents, which often ends in suicidal attempts. This should not be allowed either.
