The vertical scale should be of the same value in all cases, otherwise it turns out that a “bad” trend in one country is better in absolute value than a “good” trend in another.
I wonder how much we can trust the data from Russia.
There being differences in the left side (I cannot remember the name for it at 6 am on a Saturday) makes this not beautiful data. Two countries could look the exact same in terms of trends but be incredibly different in terms of results because the scales are not the same.
Likely that Argentina didn’t diligently report until 2005 and Russia have stopped reporting, plus the variable left axis is confusing but still interesting to see
In Russia you don’t kill yourself, you get killed. Nice guys, making favors
In Soviet Russia, country suicides you.
When do we get to see post-Nov 5, 2024?
In the United States at least, men are more likely to complete suicide, while women are more likely to attempt suicide. I would be interested in seeing how these trends compare to suicide attempts in young people over time, and if attempt or death trends vary by sex over time
Ayy yo
The russians are doing something right
Should keep the same scale if you want to compare countries.

What was happening in Australia in the late 90s?
Believe nothing out of Russia
