Annual suicide rates of Hungary were unexpectedly high in the previous century. In our narrative review, we try to depict, with presentation of the raw data, the main descriptive epidemiological features of the Hungarian suicide scene of the past decades. Accordingly, we present the annual suicide rates of the period mentioned and also data on how they varied by gender, age, urban vs. rural living, seasons, marital status, etc. Furthermore, the overview of trends of other factors that may have influenced suicidal behavior (e.g., alcohol and tobacco consumption, antidepressant prescription, unemployment rate) in the past decades is appended as well. Based on raw data and also on results of the relevant papers of Hungarian suicidology we tried to explain the observable trends of the Hungarian suicide rate. Eventually, we discuss the results, the possibilities, and the future tasks of suicide prevention in Hungary.
上个世纪，匈牙利的年自杀率出人意料地高。在我们的叙述性综述中，我们试图通过呈现原始数据，描绘过去几十年匈牙利自杀场景的主要描述性流行病学特征。因此，我们呈现了所述时期的年自杀率，以及有关这些自杀率如何因性别、年龄、城乡生活、季节、婚姻状况等因素而变化的数据。此外，还附有过去几十年中可能影响自杀行为的其他因素（例如，酒精和烟草消费、抗抑郁药处方、失业率）的趋势概述。基于原始数据以及匈牙利自杀学的相关论文的结果，我们试图解释匈牙利自杀率的可观察趋势。最后，我们讨论了匈牙利预防自杀的结果、可能性和未来任务。
