While suicide patterns have traditionally been low in Pakistan, there has been a slow but steep increase in the past few years.
One analysis of suicide reports, based over a period of two years, showed over 300 suicidal deaths in Pakistan from 35 different cities.
Research also indicated that the majority of subjects were under the age of 30 and that ‘domestic problems’ are the main reason stated for suicide. These include unemployment, health issues, poverty, homelessness, family disputes, depression and a range of social pressures.
