“people are considering suicide because of all the bad things that have happened this year”
A ludicrous assertion.
IF there is an increase, it’s because of mental illness.
Have to disagree with you.
There’s been a lot of $hit happen this year that can easily make the rate go up.
Financial ruin, job loss, isolation, and hunger can cause people to quickly lose their hope and thus make horrific decisions. Maybe mental illness plays in with a few of those, but not all.
