PanARMENIAN.Net – Major increase in suicide rate among youth and the
elderly was observed in Armenia, a psychologist stated.
At a news conference in Yerevan, Karine Nalchajyan explained youth
suicide by feeling of loneliness. “Suicides among the elderly are
conditioned by believing they’re a burden to their families. Severe
social and economic situation is one of the most common reasons,”
she said.
Ms. Nalchajyan advised media against providing details of suicides
avoid traumatizing vulnerable individuals.
