World Suicide Prevention Day: Data Reveals Alarming Trends in Nepal

World Suicide Prevention Day is observed every year on September 10 with some formal programs. Awareness messages are disseminated, and discussions about mental health take place.

However, after the day ends, suicide is often confined to a private sorrow, an individual mental problem, or a family incident. The data, however, tells a different story. Suicide is not just an event that happens within a person's mind. It is also a product of our society, economy, state service system, and climate change.
