"The suicide rate in Greece has increased 40 percent in the first five months of 2011, a report by Andy Dabilis published on Greekreporter.com revealed.
Suicide rates in Greece reached the highest among European countries after a four-year-long recession, topped with 18 months of pay cuts and lay-offs by the thousands, the report said.
Data obtained from Greece's suicide hotline, 1018, indicated that financial reasons were the most common reason for suicide given to psychologists since 2007, when the line began operating. The number of calls to the phone line has quadrupled since that time, the report said."
