This is a pretty shocking claim to make without providing any evidence.

This was reported in the Dutch mainstream press, I think it was based on this report (in Dutch):

https://www.rivm.nl/bibliotheek/rapporten/2021-0194.pdf

It’s probably based on this statistic:

  Do you wish you were dead or that you would go to sleep and never wake up?
  Almost always            1.5%
  Most of the time         2.9%
  Sometimes                7.3%
  Incidentally            13.9%
  Never                   74.9%
(Page 32)

Yes, it is shocking.

That's not really that shocking. It's pretty much the same way everywhere.
