@channelnewsasia: Your 30s are often thought of as the prime of your life. But in Singapore, a troubling trend has emerged. Suicides among those aged 30 to 39 jumped 50 per cent in 2024, even as numbers fell across every other age bracket. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among people in their 30s, with men accounting for nearly two-thirds of those who died. Why are people in their 30s facing such intense pressure, and why might some struggle to reach out for help? Here’s what could be behind the numbers. #singapore #sgnews #MentalHealth (Video: CNA/Samuel Woo)

My sister committed suicide and she had so many friends and we are a close family. Studies show just because someone has a lot of friends it doesn't mean they have their support

since this is been studied, what are Government going to do? We citizens do not have millions per year to live on. In most cases, 7 out of 10 citizens are living day by day and I am one of them at the age 55. Life is suck while our government keep taking monies from us, just to feed their millions salaries.
