The suicide rate should have been zero. Just like the man.
I’ll bet it really took off after the 2016 elections when the snowflakes found out their communist, “everything is free” utopia was put on hold by the American people.
I wonder how much the use of psychotropic medications plays a part in the increased suicide rate.

I think the problem is they pass those pills out like candy.
Witness the large number of military who are given anti-depressants for PTSD, when what they really need is someone to listen to them.
A nihilistic culture of death is to blame. People have experienced much worst economically in times past, but when the moral fabric is not just torn, but removed, there is nothing to reassure oneself with.
I would add atheism, narcissism, nihilism and the self-esteem movement.
The truth about Bourdain, Spade and suicide
Exclusive: Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson trounces ‘experts’ giving wrong solutions
Excerpt:
In my 28 years of counseling with people, I’ve discovered the root cause of emptiness and depression which drives people to suicide is resentment and hatred toward our parents – usually anger toward the mother. When a person has anger – especially toward a parent – his/her soul is disconnected from God.
No matter how much money, fame and praise people get from the world, it’s never enough to fulfill the emptiness. The void can only be filled when we forgive our parents for failing us, and repent of the judgment and resentment that we’re harboring against them. Then we can reconnect with God, who will fill the emptiness with real love and inner peace. Nothing else will do.

I have seen the suicide rates spike in recent weeks after a slow run up probably brought on by recent high profile people who have made the news.
Last time we had a spike like this the State Run Media was beating the drums of “it’s the worst economy in the last 50 years” prior to Clinton’s first term.
So my take is once again, our wonderful media is causing people to kill them selves. They must be proud.
It probably has a lot to do with telling the tender little university children how the world is according to socialist professors and then they go out into the real world and there is no one to give them play dough and change their diapers

There is a God.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. - John 14:27
And men being accused of being sexual offenders.
I’ve heard of suicide cases because of that.
1999 to 2016 — we had Clinton, Bush and Obama as president. The spike in suicides doesn’t surprise me.
Social media most likely plays a role in addition to increased dependency on both legal and illegal drugs.
In the past religion was a big part of peoples’ lives. Suicide meant you couldn’t go to heaven. Apparently less people following religious teachings means more suicides.
The numbers extend only through 2016. The increase is almost entirely in the Obama administration years. This was during the Great Recession of the Obama years.
During those years, older white men were villified. Detesting them was considered legitimate. They were especially vilified if in rural areas. If they had been blue collar, their employment was often gone, and economic hope with it. Large numbers of thrifty retirees saw their income plummet as government bond returns fell through the floor. An enormous amount of wealth was transferred from those investing in government bonds to those investing in the stock market. Many saw an insurance premium as a way to save family members or the family business or farm. Many veterans despaired with the odious attacks on the military by the Obama administration.
I expect the numbers of suicides to go down with the Trump presidency, which gives men hope that they are not forgotten, gives veterans an idea they are appreciated, and which has brought back employment and rational policy to the United States.
The article notes that 50% of suicides are committed with people using guns. That number is taken out of context as a way of attacking Second Amendment rights.
Yes, 50% of suicides are committed with guns.
30 years ago, in 1998, 61% of suicides were committed with guns.
In 1998, there were .928 guns for every American in the United States.
In 2016 there were 1.25 guns for every American in the United States.
Per capita guns increased over 34%. The percentage of suicides committed with guns decreased 22%.
That is why they only list the 50% number.
I think it is the Internet. As we untie social connections and pretend we have social connections online... we leave ourselves open to the disconnect of suicide.
When you have the deranged Hollywood influence front and center what can you expect.
