On World Suicide Prevention Day, CHR says there are people willing to listen

The CHR is also urging government and other public and private institutions to acknowledge the existence of mental health issues and the urgency of extending help.“You are not alone,” the commission said in a tweet on Tuesday. “With the implementation of the Mental Health Law, it’s time for the government, health institutions, and all of us to take the right steps towards recognizing these struggles and helping those of us who suffer.

According to a WHO 2014 study, around 800,000 individuals die from suicide each year, or about one in every 40 seconds. Latest WHO figures released in 2016, said that there are 5.2 suicide deaths per 100,000 persons in the Philippines . This was relatively low compared to Russia which was ranked first with 26.5 deaths per 100,000.

However, even if it is low compared to incidents abroad, studies also showed that suicide rate in the Philippines has increased by more than 20 times from 1992 to 2002 — an alarming rate considering that some of suicide cases are not being documented properly yet.
