Suicides in Spain are the leading cause of unnatural death in the country, with more than 4,000 deaths per year. Asturias is the community with the highest percentage of suicides per 100,000 inhabitants. The Asturian mining basins have a tradition of poor communication when it comes to expressing emotions or feelings, which added to factors such as the absence of a sustainable economy, the progressive population decline or the high consumption of alcohol, drugs and legal psychotropic drugs, makes this territory a breeding ground for emotional and mental problems, which can lead to suicide.
