Abstract

Both in Europe and Romania the interest for mental health has increased in the context of the recent economic crisis. In the European Union, every 9 minutes a person dies as a result of suicide, with 160 suicides per day, approximately 59,000 suicides per year, the suicide rate varying between wide limits in the different countries of this region. We conducted this study because there are no comparative studies between the situation of suicide in our country and the European Union and because we believe that for a better understanding of the dimension of the phenomenon of suicide, it is necessary to place it in a regional context. The rising suicide rate in young people and the elderly indicates a worsening of the mental health status at national level in these age groups and in the elderly at European level.
