U.S. Suicide Rate Surges to a 30-Year High
Rates increased among almost all groups, a federal data analysis found, with women and middle-aged Americans hit particularly hard.
"Dr. Alex Crosby, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said he had studied the association between economic downturns and suicide going back to the 1920s and
found that suicide was highest when the economy was weak. One of the
highest rates in the country’s modern history, he said, was in 1932,
during the Great Depression, when the rate was 22.1 per 100,000, about 70 percent higher than in 2014.
“There
was a consistent pattern,” he said, which held for all ages between 25
and 64. “When the economy got worse, suicides went up, and when it got
better, they went down.”"
Agree.
