This andalusian region quadriplicates the suicide rate of Spain and nobody knows why
"It's a seasonal thing. When spring starts, people start killing themselves. Sometimes is a father, sometimes is a mother, sometimes it's the children and sometimes is the whole family"
It is a meme. In fact, Suicides are pretty high in Spain and especially in the south.

This is suspicious, do you think it's environmental? Like wind blowing down a mountain range at the right spot can make a special sound that makes you physically ill.

>The hypothesis are numerous: a strange chemical compound present in the water, the abundance of olive trees and walnuts in the area, the altitude of these municipalities (almost all are on the border of one thousand meters), the existence of a mineral called pyrite in the subsoil (which presumably would cause psychological alterations), the isolation of these peoples, the scarce labor opportunities, the genetic predisposition, a macabre tradition ...

My city has most suicides out of any place in the Netherlands. It's pretty funny because it also ranks as the happiest place but all sorts of smart beautiful young people keep killing themselves
>the genetic predisposition, a macabre tradition ...
It can not be a genetic predisposition since those areas were settled by people from different parts of the peninsula and the genetics have not changed much during the centuries.
> the isolation of these peoples, the scarce labor opportunities,
This is the case of pretty much every rural village/town in Spain. So I doubt this is the reason.
>a strange chemical compound present in the water, the abundance of olive trees and walnuts in the area, the altitude of these municipalities (almost all are on the border of one thousand meters), the existence of a mineral called pyrite in the subsoil (which presumably would cause psychological alterations)
I bet some of these are the answer.

>zelfdoding Is Dutch just spurdo German?
Jeremiah Bell
Yes. Though zelfdoding is the statistical term, it's 'zelfmoord' in everyday speech which is just Selbstmort in German.

Andalusians cursed the place by binding their soul to that area to torment the incoming Spanish Soldiers and their descendants The only way to exorcise this is to cook pork while holding a 2 week Mass and Exorcism

We also have 'Selbsttötung'.

Lots of institutions for people with mental health problems in Granada for some reason

Might have something to do with the geography >la creatura

>olive trees and walnuts are causing suicides
Fucking lol

The spring wind could also be causing powerful infrasound waves caused by the geography of the place. Such sounds are known to have a powerful effect on human psychology
