Suicide rate among seniors hits 29-year high last year: SOS

0 Engagements Social isolation, financial worries and difficulty in constantly adapting to changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic are some possible reasons that the number of reported suicide deaths among those aged 60 and above has hit a 29-year high. Latest figures from the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) showed there were 154 suicide deaths in this age group last year, a 26 per cent increase from 2019. The figure is the highest for this age group since 1991, the year SOS started tracking suicide statistics. SOS chief executive Gasper Tan said: Covid-19 has severely affected the nation s economy, lifestyle and mental health. We are extremely worried about how our elderly are coping during this public health crisis.
