Seems like Sweden, Belgium and the US all have higher suicide rates than Japan

The state of our mental health care is just sad (and i can't even go to the therapist for that because our waiting lists are >6 months).

Another thing to note about the US is the availability of guns makes suicide attempts more "successful" -- iirc this is why men in the US are much more likely to die from suicide despite having the same number of attempts as women.
It'd be interesting to also see suicide attempt rates.

I believe teen girls cut themselves and attempt suicide at much higher rates but alas, boys just get the job done 👊
