15. Mumbai

Suicide rate per 100,000 people: 7.17

More than 1,300 people commit suicide annually in Mumbai. The major cause of suicides in Mumbai was due to illness. Because many sick people in Mumbai can’t afford treatment or suffer from diseases for which there is no cure, many people simply decide to kill themselves in order to be rid of the pain. The second biggest cause is a failure in exams, in a city where pressure on education is extremely high, hence explaining the suicides.
