Do you have a melancholic heart 💔
There is a truth about this life that surprises even the best of us at strange times in our lives, that we can feel quite melancholic and being happy seems such a far away place. We struggle in our lives with what we are told is the normal way to live and do things but we don’t understand what we are doing and experiencing.
Suicide in Lithuania has become a significant social issue in the country due to its high rate. Since its peak in 1995, the suicide rate in Lithuania has been constantly decreasing, but as of 2021 it still remains the highest in the EU and the second highest in the OECD (after South Korea). In 2007, the Lithuanian parliament approved the National Mental Health Strategy based on the WHO Mental Health Declaration for Europe 2005. The country also adopted the Suicide Prevention Action Plan 2016–2020. In 2015, the Suicide Prevention Bureau (Lithuanian: Savižudybių prevencijos biuras) was established under the State Mental Health Centre. In 2017, however, the National Audit Office of Lithuania concluded that there is still no comprehensive system to provide help for the individuals at risk of suicide.
