The 10 Countries with the Highest Suicide Rates

8. Slovenia

Annual suicides per 100,000 people: 21.8

As the country became independent and democratic in 1992, things began to improve for them. The suicide rate declined and the economy started to grow. Due to the global recession of the late 2000’s, Slovenia’s economy and growth was hit hard, and the country’s progress was dealt a serious setback. As a result, suicide rates again began to increase.
