Talk:Suicide in Lithuania

I think the list of prominent Lithuanians who have committed suicide does not fit the context of the page. The page is dealing with medical situations whereas most of these people did it in protest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.129.223 (talk) 02:12, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

I quite agree, there should be a divide between suicide as a private/social phenomenon and suicide as a political protest. Unique Nitrogen (talk) 11:31, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

The Lithuanian suicide rate peaked in 1995. Blaming high suicide rate on the Russian economic crisis of 1998 seems odd.

There is one highly baffling issue with Lithuanian suicides. Their rate is reported about twice as high as that of neighboring, socially, economically and culturally close countries (Latvia, Estonia). I've never seen any sensible explanation of such huge differences. Sometimes I wonder, if possibly Lithuanian statisticians have their numbers mixed up in some Excel table and they routinely report their suicides twice as many as there actually is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.179.29.86 (talk) 17:34, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
