Interesting that the Scandinavian countries make up the top 5. Must be doing something right in that region, and it's not because of the weather!!
UK way down in 19th, even Israel ranks higher and that place is pretty volatile!

I think you've read one article from

http://healthland.time.com/2011/04/2...suicide-rates/
But I can't find any stats to back up the claim that Scandinavian counties have the highest rates..
Was it www.urbanmyth.com?Quote:

Norway and Denmark (top two in the happy list) are bottom half of the suicide list. Iceland 41, Switzerland 44 (not sure where number 42 has gone), Finland 26.Quote:

And Syria is bottom, must be a very happy place to be :hehe:
And the top countries are the ones where you would expect a murder to be classified as suicide.Quote:
