Introduction

In March, it is said that many companies will be forced to work and economic problems during the fiscal year ending March. In addition, stressful events such as employment, promotion, personnel changes, transfers, relocations, moving, and other expectations and anxiety about the new environment, tensions in new human relationships, tend to overlap.

In addition, spring is a season when the temperature difference is large and the weather is easy to change, as it is said to be Sankan 4 temperature.

It is said that various stresses overlap due to these changes in the environment and climate are factors that increase the number of suicides in March.
