You would think Lithuania would be a wonderful country to reside in, with top notch facilities and a high standard of living. However, the country also has an extremely high suicide rate and in 2009 was ranked on the top of the global rate for this category. It’s ranked last on our list of countries with the highest suicide rate in the world, however. The rate was an incredible 11 times greater than that of Greece, which itself suffered from an economic collapse, which could have contributed to the increase in suicide rates on that country. It’s safe to say that financial crisis can be attributed as one of the main causes behind higher suicides rates.
