Cost of economic refore--"China finally faces up to suicide crisis "

Record deaths driven by depression

The old peasant woman spoke in a hushed voice as her grandson cowered behind her back: 'My daughter-in-law killed herself with rat poison. Nobody knows why. It was one of those things.'
The scene, in a small, poor village in Anhui province last week, is common in China, where suicide rates are almost as high as ignorance about depression.

For years, psychological disorders were ignored or treated as the product of decadent foreign societies, but a flood of studies has revealed that China has some of the biggest mental health problems in the world, particularly among rural women and urban schoolchildren.

Last week the Beijing Suicide Research and Prevention Centre reported that China had 22 suicides for every 100,000 people, almost 50 per cent higher than the global average.
