The author takes a very selective portion of the graph to make it appear the current rates are an aberration.
The chart below was listed in the article's biography, so it isn't as if the author did not know the facts.

Opioid epidemic, constant Wars, the economic downturn during the Odungo administration, and the general perverting of the culture. I bet those four things explained 90% of the increase.
Demonrats killing themselves off in the era of Trump?
Secularism leads to loss of meaning and hope. Devaluation of life follows.
full on outsourcing of US IT jobs to India. Corp tax incentivised hiring
non-us personnel. I knew a couple of guys who lost jobs and life, couldn’t recover.
Thx...interesting
What’s the big deal? We’re all going to die soon from global warming... according to the 29 year old Bronx Moonbat.
The suicide rate is not stable.
The age adjusted rate today is a little more than it was in 1986.
1986 - 12.99/100K
2000 - 10.44/100K
2016 - 13.42/100K
The CNN article, not surprisingly, starts at the lowest point in the last 30 years.

In reality, it’s now an ATT article.
CNN is now ATT
Dump ATT

Should be “article’s bibliography”, not “article’s biography”.
Well, according to press, we are all going to die in 15 years. That’s pretty irresponsible,
Kill CNN before it kills you.
As your namesake said “Lies, damned lies, and statistics”.
THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH for the longer term data.
Just like global warming - pick a low point in 1972 or wherever and go from there.
The outsourcing of tech jobs was just the beginning; at this point we’re openly trafficking Asians here as our replacement middle class not only in tech, but the financial sector as well. When Occupy Wall Street was initially protesting outside the offices of their former employers on Wall Street, you could easily see their foreign replacements filing into the office buildings behind them on the news.
Companies are replacing their workforces wholesale, and more and more Americans are unable to find any meaningful work. Just as Bill Gates bemoaned the fact that young Americans weren’t getting into tech anymore (conveniently ignoring his own hand in that, with Asian replacement workers), now colleges are finding themselves with fewer American students because no work/field is immune from those forces. Why spend the time and money when companies have no interest in hiring you?
OTOH: That wacky Heaven’s Gate bunch killed themselves to climb aboard the Hale-Bopp comet. Those crazy humanoids. LOL.
Intractable Pain Patients who have Been FORCED TAPERED are committing Suicide in record numbers, Younger Veterans with War Wounds that are Intractable Pain now exceed Sr Veterans in Suicide which is 22 per day.
The 4 Intractable Pain groups of various diseases I belong have seen a high rate of Heart Attack deaths and Suicides for the same reason. Where they once held jobs, the are now on DSSI, housebound, bedridden or in wheelchairs. Pain Meds kept them functioning for 10-30 yrs the FORCED TAPERS have made them Suicidal.
While the $8.5 Billion to treat Street Junkies is encouraging higher Illicit Opioid drug use and OD’s as the Chinese Fenatayl becomes stronger. And is laced into Heroin, Cocaine.
In case you Missed it Philly found 17.2 TONS of COCAINE yesterday, that is up from the Initial 16 tons and More to come as DEA searches more Cargo ships. Then there was A $4.5 Million haul in Chevy new cars from Mexico in Heroin.
That is just 2 days.
Benzo’s are next on the list to FORCE TAPER. That gets my Seizure med.
HOW MANY TIMES MUST I CORRECT WRITERS WHO KNOW BETTER. CHRONIC PAIN IS NOT INTRACTABLE PAIN. OPIOIDS ARE 2 CATEGORIES, LEGAL BETTER CALLED PAIN MEDS, VS ILLICIT DRUGS CALLED OPIOIDS. YOU CAN’T USE THE SAME NAMES FOR 2 DIFFERENT ISSUES IT IS CONFUSING, AND MISLEADING AS THE LIES THE CDC TOLD CDC LIED. https://www.cato.org/blog/cdc-researchers-state-overdose-death-rates-prescription-opioids-are-inaccurately-high

92% of Cancer patients sent home with NO pain meds

PHILLY BUST
LYRICA, NEUTRON, CYMBALTA, XANAX, PROSAIC, ADD, ADHD AND MANY OTHERS THAT ARE NOT ANTI DEPRESSION DRUGS. If you look at the print out close many drugs contain a Suicide warning.
That does not even include the emotional/physical abuse of kids or adults mostly women.
Personally I wouldn’t care if they legalized all drugs. BUT if anyone commits a felony or robbery to get money for drugs then i would be harsh.
