Suicide amongst teenagers

Michel Odent has sent me his Summer 2002 Primal Health Research Newsletter, with the intriguing title of “The Future of Suicide”.

He describes the contrast between two visits to China, the first in 1977 and the second in 2001. There were many differences to note, but he focuses on the the extremely high rates of suicide that are now occurring in China - 44% of all suicides and 56% of all female suicides in the world. The rate is highest amongst teenagers and young adults and accounts for 19% of all deaths in the age group of 15 - 34 years.

He theorises that this incredible statistic may have its roots in the way Chinese babies are now born, with very medicalised births and 40% caesarean section rates. Unusually, the suicide rates for women are 25% higher for woman than men, when in every other country male suicides out number females by 3:1.

Odent also refers to the work of Lee Salk and Bertil Jacobson, who have investigated the underlying causes and manner of teenage suicides and related them to birth experiences. The newsletter is full of interesting references covering an area that deserves more attention from us all.

To find out more go to The Primal Health web site and do a search using the word ‘suicide’. You will also find details there on how to get the newsletter yourself. It seems that Michel Odent is the only person interested in making these connections between intrauterine conditions for the baby and later life consequences. Fascinating stuff!
