The Eleventh Leading Cause of Domestic Death
Courtesy Medical Billing and Coding [Infographics]
One million people commit suicide every year. Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the US.
Japan
Japan also has one of the highest suicide rates in the industrialized world and these suicides are mostly attributed to unemployment and depression. It is the leading cause of death for Japanese people under 30; many choose to jump in front of trains as a suicide method. When suicide hotlines were set up in Japan, 1300 calls a week were received.
Assessment
This is a staggering number in Japan, and it signifies the importance of obtaining a job for people, since unemployment and depression are popular reasons for suicide.
