Abstract
Spain did not meet WHO's goal of reducing suicide rates by 10% by 2020;1 instead, the country has experienced a decade marked by a consistent rise in suicide mortality. National statistics indicate a concerning upward trend, with a cumulative increase of 17·42% (95% CI 12·29–22·78) in suicide rates over 2012–22.2 This statistic points to a substantial societal challenge and reveals a clear gender disparity: the increase has been a notable 32·08% (20·64–44·60) among women compared with 13·45% (7·77–19·43) among men, signalling a pressing need for more effective suicide prevention strategies.2
