They found that 9.2% of people surveyed said seriously considered the possibility of suicide, and 2.7% said they had made a suicide attempt. According to the WHO, the suicide rate increased by 60% in the last 45 years. For persons aged 15 to 44 suicide deaths is a big problem. In every country of the world, scientists have observed a significant increase in suicidal thoughts among people in adolescence and early adulthood.
