There were 508 suicides in Greece in 2012, according to the Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT), which represents a rise of 36 percent since 2008, before the country’s economic crisis began.

It is not clear from ELSTAT’s data whether this rise is directly related to the crisis. However, the figures indicate there has been an increase in the number of people taking their own lives over the last few years.
