show 48,344 people died by suicide in 2018, up from 47,173 the year before. While the increase was small, just two-tenths of a percent, the rise in deaths over time has been steady. Since 1999, the suicide rate has climbed 35%.
Death rates in 2018 increased for only two of the 10 leading causes of death: suicide and influenza/pneumonia. "I was 100% unsurprised," said April Foreman, a clinician and board member at the American Association of Suicidology, noting systems of science and care have remained static."That's not acceptable. We need to start treating these deaths seriously and respecting these survivors by upping our game in public health."
Suicide is the nation's 10th-leading cause of death, with 14.2 deaths per 100,000 people, though that rate alone belies the scope of the problem. While thousands of people die by suicide each year, millions think about it. In 2017, 10.6 million American adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.2 million made a plan, and 1.4 million attempted it,

Big troubles and lonely can lead to suicide. We all need others presence.
Rural America is being drained of its culture and soul by “free” market fundamentalism. Deaths of despair.
Haha typical white male rage hahah get over it sweetie and acknowledge your privilege. *sings* white male rage. White male rage
TheG_Boy Doctors are pumping them with drugs for 'anxiety' and allowing them to change their sex. Yeah I'd be depressed too if I was a kid in this age.
I'm sure the millions and millions of outsiders destroying the social fabric has nothing to do with it.
You can't save a Kate Spade from herself. 'Suicide is a human RIGHT!'-Dr.Thomas Szasz (author of THE MYTH OF MENTAL ILLNESS)
1) bastardization of religion; belief in god / fear of being shamed by church, ostracizing ur family 2) Celebrating fucs (w/ children) who kill themselves- Bourdain and Spade 3) Anti bullying campaigns, killed kids ability to fit in; after you’ve “told” a teacher life’s over
I feel theres a lacking sense of community, no clear defined purpose for life, too great a devide within the nation and too many families, starting middle class, struggle financially.
getongab It’s rising specifically among a certain demographic because that demographic is denied any sense of pride or purpose while being bombarded with propaganda declaring them evil and suggesting everyone would be better of if they ceased to exist.
getongab Article about Suicide Female on cover image to invoke compassion or some shit More MEN die by suicide than women, but that doesn't invoke anything. That's why: you care less about people who need help and more about using the people who get you clicks to your article.
We live in a society
getongab The nation has gotten a lot less religious, a lot less heavenly focused. Know what that does? Removes purpose from someone, meaning. Add that to the daily struggles of life, it makes you think why continue. More money, more comfort, they won't solve it.
We’re 27th in the world in economic mobility. That’s why. So everyone turned to drugs and alcohol. In doing so people have become nihilistic. The economic mobility reason can be linked to several other epidemics we have as well.
getongab Gee.....what could it be.🤔🤔🤔🤔 what are we missing 🤔🤔🤔 yet when the answers are provided they are laughed at and sneered at

getongab Thank you TheDemocrats StopTheRehtoric
getongab A country occupied and turned upside down. The first thing that happens when a village gets invaded are mass suicides. Its disgusting that you can talk with a white person on the street and they would have no idea that their people are on track to not existing in 50-100 years.

This is sad yet there’s a growing emptiness in people, a loss of hope & joy regardless of what we have. Although, it is less taboo to talk about mental illness there still isn’t an empowerment to step in and slow down to listen to someone who is struggling.
We are well aware since we have experienced the tragedy and the effect on family is devestating
That's merely the logical consequence of celebrating child transgenderism and fluid sexuality
rookthecook Cull the weak.
rookthecook That’s what happens when we molly coddle crazy people instead of sticking them insane asylums where they belong. We have people who don’t know they were born as a boy or a girl, people who think they are animals and have sex with them, people think that communism works. Madness.
Need more apps!
Stress and bullying from society are the real peoblem i suppose
NYCNavid You know why? Because people are having a hard time finding meaningful employment and its getting harder to enter the job market even with a college degree. If I had to make min wage at McDs for the rest of my life then I'd hate it too.
NYCNavid Too many people have been: - living paycheck to paycheck - in extreme debt - made addicted to opiates - losing their jobs bc of automation - feeling inferior bc of social media - lacking the time/resources to do what they love
A way out for the weak.
God?
nixonist lol I wonder whyyyyyyy 😂😂🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Cause our atomized consumerist hellscape sucks, duh.
It's a demonic problem
If you're not educated on capitalism, and how to advance inside the system, then you enjoy a brief period of time in Pleasure Island 🎡– facilitated by student loans. Then reality hits. You either become a battery 🔋 for capitalism, or you check out.
Greatest country on earth, baby! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Everything sucks and not in a 90's grunge kind of way either. No down time just work, sleep and repeat until you die. Too many institutions looking to prey on you and get away with it. Lack of freedom and lack of mental health awareness/help.
Because the west is entering a new stage of decline and spiritual numbness

Families are falling apart and men with high school diplomas can’t find good enough work to provide for themselves or a family. Meanwhile one party is focused on making Nikes cheaper while the other side demonizes middle America.
Redefine the victory condition and you cannot lose.
I’m willing to bet the rise in social media’s use is a significant factor. People see others “perfect” lives on Facebook, Instagram, etc. and it makes them feel bad about themselves, even though it’s all smoke and mirrors.
2 words- social media
I think about killing myself every week. No outside intervention is going to help. I've got a lot to live for but I'm tired of pushing forward every day. I'm unique because I've put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger. And I don't want to hurt anyone.
Maybe because we’re not raising our kids tough enough anymore? No discipline, turn the scoreboard off, not enough testing or homework, Everyone is a winner…they’re growing up soft in a hard cruel world Where there are winners and losers…

Only two candidates talking about diseases of despair and only one polling in double digits
Family values, morals, stop worshipping celebs and athletes, the list could go on and on.
SheilaFortune Nice and lovely
Lonliness is rampant in the USA. The internet has made things worse, costs are going up, we have one of the most expensive health care systems, poor mental health care , on and on
A FUCKING LIVABLE WAGE AND HEALTH CARE.
Well when people find out it’s not the greatest country in the world but the greediest country in the world they get depressed. So many don’t make enough money to buy the gas to get to work. Good luck America this is just the start. Let’s not forget the great healthcare.
Your pushing sexuality too young and not allowing children to be children. Its complex enough without shoving trans and lgbtq at them and making them question themselves more we didnt have this junk 50 years ago, and kids were happier. We protected kids from adult issues more.
Trumps are so loving, compassionate, and caring you can't but wonder why.
Depression drugs. Anti-psychotics. Anxiety drugs. Use has skyrocketed in last 20 years.
Good Day USA Today: I believe we really have to fight censorship in this country. Many suicides are very like homicides or accidental deaths. My personal opinion favors missed homicides in some cases.I.E male lottery winner Chicago and a MI banker/Atty 1st reported as a suicide
It's an accelerating life in today's world, and as humans, some don't know how to handle/cope what is thrown at us everyday. We're not wired for most situations all at once. I get it, but we have to train ourselves to be somehow stronger and resilient to that negative energy.
I went through a period where there was nothing in the world I wanted more than to die. I am in a much better place now please know that it does get better. But to all of the lawmakers out there, we desperately need better access to mental health care
Ummm. Family values? Parents who parent? Religious values? Everyone gets a trophy?
You've created a system with no hope for the future
Definitely blame social media!
Orientation has to change and the fact about life and living is not as in oldies,privatizing your preferences help reduce pressure and stress.
This is truly sad and with all the science behind child raising over the years it hasn’t gotten better. I don’t agree with all the science but probably has lots to do with changes in family dynamics as well. More work less time for family.
That mental illness is a real problem that should be addressed more, and a soaring stock market only means that rich people are doing well. The rest are still struggling just to get by.
The country is more divided than ever, the planet is on fire, and mental health is still a low priority in this country.
I’m ok with folks killing them selves. I hope they get the peace in death they couldn’t find in life.
Well it’s mainstream to be mentally ill. We don’t try and cure the illness we instead try to embrace it as “inclusion” and add another letter to the mental ill LGTBQ whatever other letters there are in it. We need to help these people not enable their illness.
Bullying. I've seen it in schools, and even though administrators will tell you there is zero tolerance, that is rarely the case. If you're bullied enough, you might think suicide is the answer. If people would leave each other alone, that'd be the perfect place to start.
Andrew Yang knows why. And he is the only candidate talking about this and has a plan to combat it.
Living is tough and dying is easy. Hope is fleeting, keeping up with the Jones is futile, wealth gap increasing constantly, bills are mounting, (feel free to add). ¤ For those that can't cut it... ...you may now drink that Kool-Aid. RIP
Suicide has gone 'viral.'
Just like income inequality. Strong correlation there.
Idk, constant cancellation, 'certain' people having some issue with everything and then try to shame you into following their horrid lead or they'll try ruining your lives. I couldn't imagine why people feel like this is too much to handle
Watching the Senate Trial gives you some part of the answer. We are not in good hands.
What? • Pay rates that match the cost of living growth • Affordable housing. • A future that doesn't look bleak • Better mental health screening • Mental health care that people can afford • Government that gives a damn • Affordable drugs • Hope MentalHealthAwareness
It's a kind of funny story.
Tell Trump WH!
Libs are weak.
is it really beyond 'us,' the well-intentioned people on the internet, to make a sincere effort to get on top of this?
We are likely missing Lyme and mold.
because life is getting more unfair for many people
Lack of affordable, available, competent mental health care, and doctors overprescribing opiates and benzos. My wife killed herself last week by overdosing on Percocet. Prescribed by her doctor. The healthcare system in this country is literally killing people.
... but Eric Herschmann says we’re happier than ever! ImpeachmentHearings
How could such a lovely woman (hope that's a woman) be suicidal?
Yup things are just great in the USA

Look at the White House. Bullying is encouraged. Wages are stagnant, and student loan debt keeps growing.
