Even as the police intensify search and seizure of drugs in Maharashtra and Karnataka, the two states, where popular celebrities are embroiled in drug scandals, witness the highest number of suicides related to drug abuse and alcoholism.
On an average, six people die of suicide due to drug abuse and alcoholism in Maharashtra, while the count is three in Karnataka, according to the recently released Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India 2019 report By the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). Maharashtra witnessed 2,256 suicides and Karnataka 1,133 in 2019. In 2018 it was 2,010 and 1,230 respectively.
At all-India level, on an average 21 people committed suicide every day due to alcohol and drug abuse. The country witnessed 7,860 and 7,193 suicide death in 2019 and 2018.
In a worrying sign, the data indicates that the suicide rate doubled since 2015 at the all-India level. Besides this, another 704 and 875 people died of drug overdose during 2019 and 2018 respectively.
Clinical psychologists say comorbidities like depression (or mental health issues) in people with drug addiction aggravate suicidal thoughts and push them to take extreme steps.
