The people are worried for the future to say what will happen tomorrow? The social norms are shattered. The life of the people ends in despair. The business slows down and the interest of the people becomes limited. The marriages are postponed. The projects of the future are rejected or postponed. People do no take interest in work. The weak hearted people get heart attach and some loose balance of their mind. These are the conditions which lead to suicide called Anomic by Durkheim.
