9. Hungary
Annual suicides per 100,000 people: 21.7
Despite being among the ten countries with the highest suicide rates, Hungary’s suicide rates have actually nearly halved since the fall of communism. In 1984, Hungary had the highest rate in history with 46.1 and this is still a record to this day. The problems behind this can be traced back to World War I, when the country, which was previously a powerhouse, lost 70% of its territory.
