(BBC
News) The recent economic crisis could be to blame for an increase in suicide
rates in Europe and America, say experts.
Their
analysis in the British Medical Journal looked at data from 54 countries to
assess the global impact of the financial problems triggered by the collapse of
US credit and housing markets in 2008.
In the
year after the crisis began, the male suicide rate rose by 3.3% overall.
This was
largely in the countries where there were more reported job losses.
