[R]ates of suicide by overdose among 15- to 24-year-olds rose, as did those for 75- to 84-year-olds. These deaths fall into the same pattern of "deaths of despair" also linked to accidental overdoses and suicide by other means...
"Both of them are likely driven by the same isolation and lack of mission,"
Volkow said it's likely the COVID-19 pandemic has added to the problem.
"As this pandemic goes on longer and longer, we're going to see more of that," said Koslow. "In general, we need to be concerned about these deaths of despair."

Thank you Fauci, Biden and all DemocRATS!
As a society we are suffering a lack of focus. No love of country. No religion allowed. Marriage discouraged by multiple means...same with children. We’re all going to die in 9.34 years, after all. Look at the movies. I am sick of reading, “On a dystopic Earth dying from heat...” or some such. Instead of something uplifting where the good guy wins, we have “Hunger Games.” And, speaking of guys, if you’re a white guy forget about a whole host of jobs that are now reserved for women or “people of color.” I’m depressed just wring about this.
If you want to reverse the way things are, you’ll need to refocus people on religion, church, love of country, family and having kids. Stop obsessing about the coming apocalypse. That is going to seem so stupid fifty years from now when we’re all worried about the AI’s building themselves at the bottom of the sea...or something.
If only Suicides by drug overdose rising among progressives, commies and .gov griffters were happening this would be a self correcting problem.
Open borders, fentanyl flowing, I’m guessing many of these “suicides” might not be legit.
Yeah my nephew over in Ohio got a much bigger load of fentanyl than he expected and was gone. He was a very flawed individual but I really don’t think he was trying suicide.
What a pile of crap this world has become.
it makes the thought of dying so much easier
Sorry to hear that! The drugs coming through our borders are a scourge on the nation. I’m suspicious that our so called leaders, are content with the situation.
All Types of Non-Vexxine Deaths Are On The Rise! Honest! We Wouldn’t Lie To You! Love, UPI.
