România, țara unde 4 oameni se sinucid zilnic. Psiholog: Persoanele care au peste 60 ani, cele mai vulnerabile • Newsweek România

In Romania, the suicide rate is concerning, with an average of four deaths daily, particularly among those over 60. Experts criticize the lack of effective government measures to address this issue. In 2023, there were 1,611 recorded suicides, highlighting a growing vulnerability among pensioners. Comparatively, the EU reported over 48,000 suicide-related deaths, with a higher prevalence among men. The absence of a national suicide prevention strategy and community support systems exacerbates the problem, leaving many individuals without necessary help. The stigma surrounding suicide further complicates discussions and interventions.
