Definition
- An estimated 850,000 to 1 million people world-wide died by their own hand during the year 2000. Although a worldwide average rate of suicide is not available because of the unevenness of reporting, the World Health Organization offers that for every act of successful suicide there are approximately 10 to 20 unsuccessful attempts.
