Suicide in Lithuania

Suicide in Lithuania has become a significant social issue in the country due to its high rate.[1] Since its peak in 1995, the suicide rate in Lithuania has been constantly decreasing,[2] but as of 2021 it still remains the highest in the EU and the second highest in the OECD (after South Korea).[3]

The suicide rate as of 2022 was 18.6 suicides per 100,000 persons.[3][4]
