This paper analyzes suicides committed in Podgorica during the 2000-2005 period divided according to gender, age and the way these have been performed. In 2000 we have 25 suicides on 100.000 habitants, and in next five years there is a growth in trend thus in 1999, there are 17.3 suicides on 100.000. Comparing to 1989 when suicide rate was 7.89, and 2003 rate which was 35.74, we can notice that significant social stresses, lead to a rise in rate of suicides so average rate for period of 2000-2005 is 28,29 which puts Podgorica into area with high suicide rate. The male/female ratio was 2.8:1. The largest number of people who killed themselves are between 35 and 44 years old. The way that people use to perform suicide is mostly by firearm (40.78%) and hanging themselves (38.03%) which is near to average numbers in the world. This research shows that there is significant rise in suicide rate. As a conclusion, on the basis of cited literature, the authors lined up all moments which can explain why have happen significance rise in suicide rate.
