Of interest to those who have brought this up in the past: As of 2001, the five countries with the highest suicide rates were Lithuania, Russia, Belarus, Latvia and Ukraine....The suicide rates were staggering....in Lithuania and Russia, the rate per 100,000 men is over seventy. For comparisons sake, the rate per 100,000 men in the United States is approximately sixteen. As many women as men die by suicide in Lithuania as men do in the United States.
