Abstract

Goal of study: to consider and analyze the level of self-destructive behavior of the population in Ukraine. 

Materials and methods. The data of branch statistical reports for the period of the years 2011–2015 were used as material for study. Statistical and bibliosemantic methods of study were used in the course of research.  

Results. The results obtained indicate the high level of suicides among the population of Ukraine with the tendency to increase. Suicide indices of population differ by regions of the country. Taking into account the inadequacy of statistical accounting and reporting the data may be insufficiently objective.

Conclusions. The situation with suicides in the country requires the development of the State program of preserving mental health of population.
