In recent years, suicides worldwide have been around 800,000 per year. Are there suicide data - year by year - for the last 50 years even further back?

Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I have this book "The Evolution of Suicide" and there it says:
Suicide is not rare. It may appear exceptional from an individual's perspective, as
might be said of death generally – suicide reportedly occurs at an annual rate of
"only" about 11.4 per 100,000 population globally (WHO, 2014) – but it is far from
an uncommon cause of mortality. No less than 1.4% of all deaths are attributed to
suicide, some 800,000 per year, which makes it the world's leading cause of violent
fatality: more people die by self-murder than by wars and homicide combined
(WHO, 2012a, 2014). The real incidence may be higher, with perhaps a fifth of
suicides going unreported in official statistics (Kapusta et al., 2011; Rockett,
Kapusta, & Bhandari, 2011): such is the stigma that often surrounds suicide that
many cases are misclassified as deaths by other or unknown causes (Tøllefsen, Hem,
& Ekeberg, 2012). Actual deaths can be viewed as the tip of an iceberg of suicidality: it is estimated that for each completed suicide, there are 20–25 "unsuccessful"
attempts (Troister, 2014) and that 2.7% of people in the world have tried to take
their own lives at some stage, 0.4% over a 12-month period alone (WHO,
2014). Reported rates of suicidal ideation very widely: an international study found
that 10–18% of the general population reported having had suicidal thoughts at
some stage (Weissman et al., 1999); towards a higher end of results, a survey of
shoppers in Seattle found that 53–67% admitted to have seriously considered suicide at some stage, 20% in the past year alone (Linehan, Goodstein, Nielsen, & Chiles, 1983).
