Suicide rate rises for first time since 2013 The suicide rate in the UK has risen for the first time since 2013, official figures show.
Office for National Statistics data for 2018 showed 11.2 deaths from suicide per 100,000 people - up from 10.1 in 2017.
Changes to the way suicides are recorded were brought in midway through last year and may account for some of the rise, the ONS says.
However, the suicide rate is still lower than its 1980s peak. BBC News
