A very interesting set of maps and article!

I wish the government would think more about what they _do_ want people to die from.

I am also interested in what the 'mental disorder' cause of death is. It's not suicide (a separate category). Mortality rates (google shows me) are higher for people with mental disorders, but I am assuming this is because misuse of drugs, misprescription or mis-taking of drugs is higher, that this group is less likely to appropriately self-care, and the health service may be less inclined to provide appropriate care to people who have mental health issues.
