“Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among US young adults. There is a reason for that.”

Yeah. The reason is that once you eliminate contagious disease, starvation, wild animal attack, and food poisoning, the only things left that kill young adults in large numbers are violence and accidents. And with modern medical trauma treatment available death rates due to accidents and non-self-inflicted violence are way down.

What does that leave?

Suicide.

It’s a feature, not a bug. Honest.
