2- Guyana
- Average suicide rate per 100,000: 40.3
With an astounding 40.3 suicides per 100,000 inhabitants (compared to the global average of 16 per 100,000), the tiny South American nation of Guyana has the highest suicide among the 20 countries with the highest suicide rates in the world.
Furthermore, those in need of assistance have few choices because the nation lacks a functioning crisis hotline, social workers and psychologists are in low supply, and there are less than ten full-time psychiatrists.
