This two map visualizations represent the names of the highest countries with suicide rate on the maps. The reasons of high suicide in Africa is high spread of lethal deceases like AIDS/HIV (and lack of proper health systems. Represented in one of the graphs, the HIV/AIDS rates of Africa Countries are in the graph were the blue bars of the graph represent countries with highest suicide.

Suicide
Each year, One million persons die r because of suicide, and this reflects a mortality rate of one death every forty seconds.
Additionally, the rates of suicide deaths have increased by 60% in the last 45 years worldwide. For this, suicide became one of the three main causes of mortality among the males and females that are 15 to 44 years old. This is a problem that is a concern for every country therefore performing data exploration and analysis is of high importance, few recommendations will be suggested and will be directed to governments to take action at the first place and then to parents and schools to be aware of the reasons behind the increasing numbers in order to raise awareness among the future generations.
It is clear that East European countries have higher suicide rates compared to west European countries. Post Soviet Union European countries have very high suicide rates because of high economic and political instability that followed the collapse of the Union. These high rates are associated high levels of substance abuse.
For this, awareness should be spread about the dangers of substance use in educational schools and systems. Also, substance rehabilitation centers are a way to reduce the numbers of drug abusers and in turn reduce the suicide risk.

Now a day’s suicide became one of the three main causes of mortality among males and females that are 15 to 44 years old. In addition to that researches showed that Europe and Africa are the continents with the most number of suicide deaths. A study was performed to deeply analyze this topic in these two continents specifically. For this purpose, data was taken from World development index and merged with externally data from credible resources, then visuals were formed using tableau to find relationships between the variables we have and the numbers of suicides in different countries. The results show that the highest age group with suicide numbers are 35-54 years, literature shows that those age groups have the highest responsibilities. Followed by 55-74 years, a possible reason would be that people in this age should reach all their goals maybe if they didn’t, they don’t find themselves worthy of life, or the opposite, the fact that people accomplished all their goals in life and don’t see a point in living anymore.
