According to Carl von Essen, Mind’s general secretary, may reason Västerbotten peak be the county’s large share of health surveys and strong union culture.
– It could have been a limiting factor on the number of suicides, he says to SR.
But the survey also shows a strong correlation between unemployment and mental illness. According to Solveig Landquist, operations manager for adult psychiatry in Västmanland, there is a connection between last year’s high number of suicides in the county and the threat of redundancy, unemployment or carry insurance.
– I think it’s very socio-economic conditions that will emerge in these figures, she says to SR.
