Talk:Suicide in the United Kingdom

Suicide rate: high?
The article refers to the suicide rate as 'high', but in fact, according to the List of Suicide Rates by country, the UK has the lowest suicide rate of any highly developed country, except Spain, Italy and Israel. In fact the most remarkable thing about suicide in the UK is how uncommon it is, considering we are a Northern European country with staggering levels of inequality and poverty (by European standards). I feel this should be reflected in the article, if someone can find a decent source for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.247.59 (talk) 19:09, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

definition
The article should probably include the definition used in the UK, which is slightly different to that used in many other countries. The ONS counts deaths where coroners have come to a conclusion of suicide (and since 2019 this is on the balance of probabilities), but also counts deaths after self harm where the intent was unknown. This is a wider definition than that used in other countries. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/suicidesintheunitedkingdom/2014registrations#methodological-changes DanBCDanBC (talk) 20:44, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Why is this referenced as a see also? Is there any relevance? Jellinator (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:40, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
