>Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world

Actually, no. From the WHO 2017 data it's #26 with a rate not that much higher than the US (15.4 vs 12.6 /100k/yr).

Interesting, looks like it's not the highest, but the Japanese government stats say the rate is much higher than that (about 19) http://www.newsweek.com/japans-suicide-rate-finally-falling-...
