In the United States every year, more than 30,000 people die by their own hand, making it the 11th leading cause of death in this country. Another million commit suicide across the globe: worldwide, it is the 14th leading cause of death. Eastern Europe (particularly Lithuania, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Hungary), Russia, and Japan have the highest rates, while Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Israel have the lowest. The U.S. falls in the middle in its incidence of suicide.
