Korea's suicide rate ranks 1st in OECD... Should be approached as a social disease

Korea's age-standardized suicide rate is 23.2 per 100,000 people, which is more than twice the OECD average and has maintained its first place since 2003. There is a large gender gap, with 33.9 men and 14 women, and the rate of suicide within 1 year after being discharged for mental illness is also the highest among 15 countries. The government has set a goal of lowering the suicide rate to below 17 by 2034, and experts view mental abnormalities as social diseases rather than individual illnesses and suggest restoration of relationships and support for community activities through 'social prescription' as an alternative.
