The main health issue among Chlouvānem people is considered to be the suicide rate. Suicide (''demikaudaranah'') is the leading cause of death for people under 40<sub>12</sub> and has grown to become a serious problem. The rate is very high due to the social pressure inherent in Chlouvānem culture, which has often led people, especially young workers and students, to be easily ashamed for even minor mistakes or failures and Chlouvānem society not being particularly tolerant of this. Due to the Yunyalīlti worldview valuing the community more than the individual, suicide has historically been considered the most honourable way to die, and part of a process of natural selection, as the dead’s place in the community will be taken by someone better suited.<br/>These reasons have also led, especially among young people (particularly the age range from 12<sub>12</sub> to 22<sub>12</sub>) to the | The main health issue among Chlouvānem people is considered to be the suicide rate.

''-ħildenī''): actual plannings of mass suicides masked as games. This has been a particularly hot topic in the news since in 6418 <small>(386ᘔ<sub>12</sub>)</small> 43 young people committed suicide on the same day across the diocese of Kainomatā; while many such games have been stopped and the organizers often executed, some of them periodically pop out and it has been estimated that many hundreds of all yearly suicides of young people in that age range is due to these phenomena. Parts of the society, though, haven't condemned these games as much as the government did, with people even referring to them as a kind of "needed help" in order to find a simple and right way to do it. | ||
Nowadays, even some of the most traditionalist people have recognized that suicides in the Inquisition are a serious problem as suicide rates, particularly among people aged 16<sub>12</sub> to 24<sub>12</sub>, have continued to rise yearly for the last 15 years, and many failed attempts have led to people frequently becoming paralyzed or with other serious injuries and thus incapable of leading a normal life. Many suicide hotlines have been set up by local governments in order to give assistance and some dioceses have begun to provide psychological visits for free to “vulnerable subjects”, and there have been cases of employers being convicted and serving 2+6+2 months prison sentences<ref>A mild sentence in Inquisition justice, consisting of two months of forced work, six months of prison detention (including socially helpful jobs), and two months of house arrest.</ref> for instigation to suicide (''demikaudarīgis'') - there have been however pressures towards Inquisitors in order to give harsher sentences for such crimes, including a full 7+7 sentence<ref>Seven months of forced work plus seven months of prison detention.
