Economic suicide?

Does the rate of suicide (and attempted suicide) in the expat community seem as high to you as it does to me? Is it because the UAE makes them desperate, or because desperate people are attracted to the UAE?

News items (from 4 weeks ago 'til today):
> Man jumps naked from building in suicide attempt
> Police probe Briton’s death
> Loan sharks prey on gullible expatriates
> Youth found hanging in Ajman
> Two ‘commit suicide’ in Ajman; one saved after 2nd storey jump
> Man in coma after plunging from building
> Suicide cases among Indians up by 10%

- It works both ways, I guess.
