Japan and China are high yes, but my focus is more on why we Christian countries have higher rates than Moslem countries. Japan, China are largely athiest (yes, you can argue that Sweden is largely athiest too). I think one clear point was the cult of individualism that has arised in Christian countries.

I will point out to you that Islam also leads adherents into feeling justified in focusing perceived failures into aggression against others, rather than inward.

The lower level of suicide and contrastingly higher rate of assaults, rapes, and murders are not two separate issues. They are the same issue.
