Interesting correlation between low reported suicide rates and highly religious countries where family members would have a strong cultural incentive to lie about whether a death was a suicide or an accident.

From the graph you could conclude any of the :
– Northern countries suicide more, probably due to lack of sun
– Very religious countries suicide less, either because suicide is shameful and underreported by the families, either because people are afraid to go to hell if they suicide.

Not that many suicides in UAE. But lots of tall buildings, lots of labor abuses, and lots of „accidents“.

Happiness is a culturally dependent concept. Pretty much every survey that measures it is bullshit.
