@thejapantimes Hospitalized is more like being put in jail.
Is it because of the progress they are experiencing, or due to that most of the population lack the belonging to any of the divine religions, or because they always do what is right, or perhaps because of the poverty suffered by certain groups of the population such as children and elderly women?
I truly want to hear different perspectives on this phenomenon of the increasing rates of suicide and self-harm attempts in this way.
