Suicides, depression cost Japanese economy 2.7 trillion yen in 2009 - The Mainichi Daily News
Suicides, depression cost Japanese economy 2.7 trillion yen in 2009 - The Mainichi Daily News
Suicides, depression cost Japanese economy 2.7 trillion yen in 2009
Suicides and loss of employment due to depression cost the national economy almost 2.7 trillion yen in 2009, according to a Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare study released Sept. 7.
The study was presented to the government's suicide prevention measures committee by labor minister Akira Nagatsuma.
This is the first time such a project has been conducted in Japan, though a similar study was held in Britain in 1998 and resulted in major improvements to the public health system's suicide prevention strategies. Nagatsuma was familiar with the results of the British research and directed the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research to undertake the study.

自殺やうつ病：０９年経済的損失２．７兆円 厚労省初調査 - 毎日ｊｐ(毎日新聞)
自殺やうつ病：０９年経済的損失２．７兆円 厚労省初調査
自殺やうつ病による経済的損失
自殺やうつ病による経済的損失
厚生労働省は７日、自殺やうつ病での失業などによる０９年の経済的損失額が推計で約２．７兆円に上るとする調査結果を発表した。長妻昭厚労相が政府の自殺総合対策会議に報告した。同様の調査は英国で実施され、その後の精神保健医療改革が自殺対策に大きな効果を上げている。日本での調査は初めて。
調査は、英国の取り組みを知った長妻厚労相が指示し、国立社会保障・人口問題研究所の金子能宏（よしひろ）社会保障基礎理論研究部長らが実施した。
損失額は、０９年に１５～６９歳で自殺した２万６５３９人が亡くならずに働き続けた場合に得られた生涯所得額と、０３年のうつ病患者数の推計値をもとにした失業給付額や医療給付額など、計６項目の総額を加え推計した。

Suicide Japan
s a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist working in Japan for over 20 years, I would like to put forward a perspective on the unacceptably high suicide numbers in Japan. Mental health professionals in Japan have long known that the reasons for the high suicide rate are unemployment, bankruptcies, and the increasing levels of stress on businessmen and other salaried workers who have suffered enormous hardship since the post-"bubble" economy hit a low point around 1997. Until that year, Japan had between 22,000 and 24,000 suicides a year. In 1998 the rate increased by around 35 percent, and since 1998 the number of people killing themselves each year in Japan has consistently remained over 30,000. The current worldwide recession is, of course, impacting Japan, so unless the new administration initiates very proactive and well funded local and nationwide suicide prevention programs and other mental health care initiatives, including tackling the widespread problem of clinical depression suffered by so many of the general population, it is very difficult to foresee the previous government's stated target to reduce the suicide rate to around 23,000 by 2016 as being achievable. On the contrary, the suffering that people who become part of these numbers have to endure may well stay at current levels. I would like to suggest that since many Japanese have high reading skills in English, any articles dealing with mental health issues in Japan provide contact details for hotlines and support services for people who are depressed and feeling suicidal. Here are two useful telephone numbers for Japanese- and English-speakers who are feeling depressed or suicidal and need to get in touch with a mental health professional qualified in Japan — Inochi no Denwa (Lifeline Telephone Service): Japan 0120-738-556/Tokyo 3264-4343
