Is it a serious case?
No? Well, for those who says no, these numbers might shock you.

- The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are one million suicides each year, representing 1.4 per cent of the total global burden of disease.
- According to WHO suicide rates statistics, one person commits suicide every 40 seconds.
