U.S. Suicide Rate Surges to a 30-Year High
“Suicide in the United States has surged to the highest levels in nearly 30 years, a federal data analysis has found, with increases in every age group except older adults. The rise was particularly steep for women. It was also substantial among middle-aged Americans, sending a signal of deep anguish from a group whose suicide rates had been stable or falling since the 1950s.”
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
