A suicide epidemic is a large number of suicides taking place over a period of time in a manner that resembles a disease epidemic. Such epidemics have occurred in the former Soviet Union in the 1990s,^[1] among police officers,^[2] on Indian reservations,^[3] and in Micronesia.^[4] The Werther effect occurs when suicides that are made publicly known encourage others to imitate them.^[5] It has been suggested that the teaching of stories such as Romeo and Juliet may encourage suicide among young people.^[6]
