Hello,

I have a Forum on yahoo about depression and suicide: "Dancing on the Razors" http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/polezviyubritvi
It is in Russian and English.

This Forum is a place to discuss issues concerning suicide, suicide attempts, depression, loneliness, misunderstanding. If you have anything to share: thoughts, experience, poetry, ART... you are welcome to do it.
Thank you very much.

Love and support,
Eneri

Switzerland is statistically tied for second (behind the Finns) for the most suicides per capita. What's THAT all about, if this is Heaven on Earth? 20 Swiss out of every 100,000 kill themselves! The USA number is about half that. Hmmmm....

Although I've never put any value into suicide rates, I do find it surprising that such a proud people have such a high rate. I bet it comes from the French population, not the German.

Why the French and not the Italian?

You might be right about the suicide rates in Sweden. God knows why, but here is an url http://www.who.int/mental_health/Top.../suicide1.html



(You'll need the Acrobat reader -- and a magnifying glass!)

No I haven't, but my stepfather lived and worked there. I am sure he would agree with you.
