This section provides more information about the United Nations indicator or the European Union Sustainable Development Indicator, such as its rationale, international results, metadata, and other relevant statistics.

Rationale

Mental disorders occur in all regions and cultures of the world. The most prevalent of these disorders are depression and anxiety, which are estimated to affect nearly 1 in 10 people. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. In 2019, it is estimated that there were more than 700,000 deaths by suicide worldwide. Suicide mortality rate is defined as the number of suicide deaths in a year, divided by the population, and multiplied by 100,000. Suicides are defined in terms of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10).
Comparability between the available indicator and the UN indicator

The available indicator complies with United Nations metadata.
