Suicide rates in the United States have soared to a 30-year high, with the most striking surge among middle-aged women and white people, according to federal data released Friday.
“Of the top 10 causes of death — including cancer, strokes, heart disease — everything else went down but suicide went up,” he said. “It’s particularly striking among women, because they have traditionally had much lower suicide rates.”
For women between the ages of 45 and 64, the suicide rate jumped 63 percent in the 15-year period. It rose 43 percent for men in the same age group, according to the data.

Have you ever listed to some of the disclaimers on the pills they hawk on television. Most of them all say side effects could include suicidal thoughts.
I was going to a shrink for a while a couple of years ago and she had me on some meds (I forget the names) and a few weeks in taking them, started to have those thoughts.
I quit the pills and the shrink and started to feel better, albeit slowly.
That’s true. And now they want to automate service sector jobs.
Nah, we just went from smoking and the draft to more traditional forms of suicide.
That’s a good point.
The fruits of FEMINISM.
This finally closes the circle of the first unhappy generation that as children were never socialized with children of the opposite gender.
Always kept busy, never allowed to interact in a chaperoned environment, and always allowed to self segregate by gender, these children grew up like dogs kept away from other dogs. They cannot relate to others, and don’t know how to socialize with them in a healthy way.
Oh, of course they still wanted sex. But they had no idea how to find love or a mate. As such their lives have been lonely, if they were ever married it didn’t last, they are deeply distrustful of the other gender; and when finally too old, they resigned themselves to lives of empty despair.
So for many of them, suicide becomes a very real option.
The one and only root cause is Satan infecting more and more people’s lives.
What about - husband dies, leaves, she’s never worked in all those years. She will NOT be getting a good job. Men her age want 20-somethings. She isn’t wanted at the couple’s gatherings any more. That feeling of being alone poor and helpless could do it.
Good for you. I think sometimes the meds prescribed make things worse.
Makes sense. After all, they “deserve to die”: http://dailycaller.com/2016/03/12/national-review-writer-working-class-communities-deserve-to-die/
Don’t forget the impact of affirmative action in this as well; it is practically impossible to hire white guys (especially in government work, but throughout the private sector as well).
I was thinking the same thing; the unhappiest, most bitter people I work with are childless white women who are past child-bearing years. They don’t work any longer hours than their breeding counterparts, but go home to TV while their counterparts deal with the joys (and trials) of families. Even the married ones (boyfriends who didn’t want kids waited until that ship sailed before marrying them) seem to realize they are working to support other peoples’ kids; they vote lib out of gender allegiance, but they detest most segments of the “Obama coalition”...
That seems to be the goal (squeeze every penny out of whites for “victims”), but the problem is that as the white population contracts (the birthrate is already negative) there are areas where there are no whites left to fix, maintain, or pay for anything. This initially was a problem in cities, but is spreading into suburbs as Asian and Hispanic “replacement Americans” move in. Even companies are running out of white people; how many times do you hear a telemarketer or drive-thru worker that barely speaks English? 20 years ago that would have barred their hiring; now they are all that is left.
I’m sure that’s a major player here.
Affirmative Action - Government mandated racism. And, white people have not yet revolted.....
Sad story in Suburban Chicago, but becoming more common due to Obama’s war on the Middle Class.
Homer Township couple dead in murder-suicide had financial problems
May 2, 2016
Alicia Fabbre, Nick Swedberg Daily Southtown
A Homer Township couple found dead in their home Saturday after an apparent murder-suicide had been involved in foreclosure proceedings on their home in Will County court, records show.
Will County sheriff’s deputies found the husband and wife, identified as Steven and Mary Siano, dead Saturday in their home in the 16900 block of Meadowcrest Drive. According to the Will County Coroner’s Office, preliminary findings show Mary Siano, 54, suffered a single gunshot wound to her back and Steven Siano, 56, had a single gunshot wound to the head.
“Evidence at the scene appears (to show) that he is the one that shot her, and then turned the gun on himself,” Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Rick Ackerson said.
The couple’s two adult children, who lived in the same home, heard their parents arguing and then gunshots, Ackerson said. The gun believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered from the home.
Neighbors living less than a block from the Siano’s home in the quiet Meadowcrest subdivision said ambulances were called to the couple’s house several times over the past year.
Figuratively and literally killing themselves. Whenever that tuition bill arrives I think of the gibmedat who gets a piece of it, and it kills me.
