Suicide rates increased by 25% across the United States over nearly two decades

Posted by on
According to research published Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide rates increased by 25% across the United States over nearly two decades ending in 2016. Twenty-five states experienced a rise in suicides by more than 30%.

In 2016 alone, about 45,000 lives were lost to suicide.
What is more confusing is that more than half of those who died by suicide had not been diagnosed with a mental health condition, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC.
"These findings are disturbing. Suicide is one of the top 10 causes of death in the US right now, and it's one of three causes that is actually increasing recently, so we do consider it a public health problem -- and something that is all around us," Schuchat said. The other two top 10 causes of death that are on the rise are Alzheimer's disease and drug overdoses, she noted.

"Our data show that the problem is getting worse," Schuchat said.
