Times 360 Malawi has reported that 208 people have committed su***de in the country between Jan and Aug 2022. Let me add that:

1. These are reported ones I.e those that come to the attention of the police otherwise, some if not more don't get reported
2. And for every successful su***de, there are about 8 su***de attempts this means that out of these 208 cases, there were about 1,664 Su***de attempts.

As a nation, what are we doing to promote mental health?
