Why is Greenland's suicide rate so high? I've heard it's become sort of the "in" thing for some teens to do like where there are so many people killing themselves that people won't think you're weird for doing it, like an epidemic.
I know that they have some nights of constant darkness and that the population in Greenland is very spread out but I don't know much else about the country
>Suicide in Greenland is a significant national social issue. According to government reports, between 1/4 and 1/5 of Greenlanders attempt to kill themselves at some point in their lifetime.[1] Greenland also has by far the highest suicide rate in the world: reports between 1985 and 2012 showed that an average of 83 people in 100,000 committed suicide, more than twice the rate of the second placed country.
>Several reasons are blamed for Greenland's high rate of suicide, including alcoholism, depression, poverty, conflict-ridden relationship with spouse, dysfunctional parental homes, etc. According to a report published in the Science Daily in 2009, the suicide rate in Greenland increases during the summer. Researchers have blamed insomnia caused by incessant daylight.
>Violent methods were used in 95% of suicide deaths.[5] The most common methods were hanging (46%) and shooting (37%);[5] other methods, such as jumping from heights, cutting with sharp objects, drowning, overdose of medication, and poisoning were also used, but less frequently.

they are natives, that without a master race to rule over them, will not function as a society in cold and barren places (in the case of greenlanders the danes are their superiors)
this leads to many causes that again leads to a suicide epidemic.

That's so sad. It looks so comfy there, like they live in Saltkråkan. How can we help them /pol/?

forgot this:
On 21 June 2009, Greenland gained self-rule with provisions for assuming responsibility for self-government of judicial affairs, policing, and natural resources.
(this self rule process also began a bit earlier)
from your wikipedia article:
Greenland Government data reported in 2010 suggest that almost one suicide occurred a week.[8]

Polar summers/polar nights.
This shit affects your brain more than the bitchiest women ever.
If I was Danish I'd kill myself too
>cold, isolated shithole
>can count the habitable settlements on one hand
>nothing to do
>probably don't get gov't bennies for living there like alaskans do
Combine that with Inuit genes and alcohol and you have a fucking recipe for disaster.

Probably not. It might fuck your brains on basic levels, fuck up hormone levels and shit. It's like a nail in your foot you can't adapt to.

yea you need vitamin D or whatever if there is absolutely 0 sunlight but why would that mess up your brain, it's pretty much the same as being a NEET
>>71854342
Not brain, serotonin receptors
what causes the darkness phenomenon in the ice areas
>>71854342
>it's pretty much the same as being a NEET
I don't think NEETs are the pinnacle of happiness and sanity.

The earth's axis isnt perpendicular to the sun's axis and that the earth rotating around the sun in an ellipse causing the north and south pole to be much further than the sun at some months of the year. We learned this in 9th grade wtf America.

We learned science in fourth grade and then moved onto more pressing subjects.

The ice makes the sun too cold so it's always dark there.

This, this messes with our inner sleep cycle meaning you never really get accustomed to anything. I'll bet it is agonizing over time
