We just had three college kids commit suicide at the local college in the last few months, with two just last week. I got me wondering. What the suicide rate is like in the DR? I tried looking up some stats and it doesn't seem to exist there with any statistical relevance. Is it just that it is very rare, or are they not reported for religious reasons, such as where people can be buried? In general, Dominicans seem to be among the most mentally healthy people I've ever met.
