“Suicide is a widespread issue”

Suicide impacts people worldwide, no matter their nationality, beliefs, or social status. Mental health issues and physical difficulties can increase vulnerability to feelings of despair, whether temporary or ongoing.

CEOWORLD Magazine is urging countries to address these factors to lower suicide rates, taking into account issues like depression, life satisfaction, academic achievement, health, finances, and economic circumstances.
