Does your family or company keep scolding you?
In the latest figures released by the SOS, 14.3 per cent of suicide cases occur among 60 to 69 years old, 9.6 per cent among 70 to 79 years old, and 5 per cent in those 80 years old and above. Unfortunately, suicide among seniors isn’t a recent phenomenon. It is worth noting that those numbers do not include unsuccessful suicide cases.
Suicide signs such as refusing medication, talking about being a burden, withdrawing from activities they once enjoyed.
