(7 years ago)Since the war, 138 people have committed suicide in Kosovo, and 373 have attempted to commit such an act. And for nine months of this year in Kosovo, 19 suicides occurred, while 98 people have attempted to commit such an act, based on police records...
In 2014 the largest number of suicides were recorded, with the number being 80, since in 2013, 236 people have attempted suicide. The number of suicides has occurred since this year, where there were 38 suicides and 164 suicide attempts last year.
Police via email have told Online Economy that their competence is the investigation into suicide and that suicide as an act is not a criminal offence.
When police investigate these cases when they are suspected that the person has been driven to do such an act, that is, suicide in suicide, and when it is thought that the suicide was helped to commit the act, so help in killing itself”
The suicide as an act is not a criminal offense, and the assassination... and help... are criminal acts under the Kosovo Criminal Code, where the KK conducts investigations”.
Sami Rexhepi, a psychologist at the House of Mental Health, has declared for Online Economy that the statistics of suicides in the country are high and desperate, compared with the number of residents.
Rexhepi, the number of suicides has increased greatly and this could be linked to the consequences of post-war, which have later impacted.
But he does believe that the promises of politicians who create great expectations among young people result in great despair.
Unfortunately, statistics are very depressing, they're high enough for a population that's less than 2 million. We were once the most protected people from suicide and we had the smallest suicide rate in the former Joguslavi”.
The number of suicides has increased greatly, especially among young people. This could be explained with the consequences of postwar, which later influenced. Later, people have begun to face a different reality”.
The pre-election reports that create huge expectations of people, which then end with great despair. That's when people lose that barracks. To the act of suicide is a complete darkness of consciousness. The conscious man did not commit the act of suicide”, Rexhepi said.
He has further claimed that the female gender is most affected by attempted murder, while the male gender dominates suicide.
Rexhepi, has stressed that some strategies have been made for preventing suicides, but lacking their implementation.
Rexhepi stressed, among other things, that each business must have a psychologist, but schools certainly do.
When we talk about attempted suicide, most genders dominate female genders, which choose methods with little relief. And men choose hanging or gun, which leads to suicide. Attempting suicide remains in that sense as a need to draw attention to others who need help and support. They have very dark glasses and do not see all the colors of life”.
There is no hope and disappointment is too great. There have been some suicide prevention strategies, but we lack implementation. Poverty is not the main reason, because there are many people in poor financial condition but who outnumber their daily”.
“Sadly, we do not have a positive role in this regard. Most media are designed for black chronics, with very little results. All businesses must have a psychologist”.
Every sports club needs a psychologist, for school it's necessary. A high school without a psychologist is unacceptable. Not all young people, transition from one period to another very easily copes with”, he said.
September 10 is known as the World Day of Suicide Prevention. The data shows that in the world, suicide is nearly a million people every year. About 3,000 people commit suicide in one day worldwide.
