Full article at link.Suicide rates are up by 30 percent across the nation since 1999, federal health officials reported Thursday.
And only about half the people who died by suicide had a known mental health condition, even though depression had been thought to be the major cause of suicide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
While many cases of mental illness may have been diagnosed, the CDC also noted that relationship stress, financial troubles and substance abuse were contributing to the trends.
“From 1999 to 2015, suicide rates increased among both sexes, all racial/ethnic groups, and all urbanization levels,” the CDC researchers wrote in their report.
The suicide of fashion designer Kate Spade, who died this week at age 55, and the death of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain , are capturing headlines and making people wonder if certain groups, such as middle-aged men and women, may be more at risk. They are.
"Middle-aged adults had the largest number of suicides and a particularly high increase in suicide rates. These findings are disturbing," said CDC principal deputy director Dr. Anne Schuchat.
But the CDC team found almost no group is exempt from the rise in suicide rates, except people over age 75.
Nearly 45,000 people died by suicide in 2016, the CDC team found.
“What we tried to do in this study was look at the state level at trends over time,” Schuchat said.
“Unfortunately, the suicide rates went up more than 30 percent in half of the states.”

I thought everything was awesome? Well, if everything is so awesome, then why are these rates skyrocketing to pretty much epidemic levels? Is it drugs? Is it the psychological trauma that comes from Education? Perhaps its the Propaganda coming from the MSM making everyone feel at risk? Maybe when your neighbors call the cops on you for letting your child play at a park? Is it fear of war or getting nuked? Maybe because the US has 5% of the worlds population and consumes 80% of the prescription drugs? Maybe the 102 million Working Age people that dont have jobs and cant make ends meat? Maybe it is Discrimination for both whatever religion a person might be vs Sexual Orientation? Maybe its the Emotional Dependency that is pushed so hard by so many other people? Maybe people have become aware that they have been set up to fail at every step of their lives? Maybe its the cost of Health Insurance for a family of 4 averaging $28,166 per year? Maybe its Fake News? Maybe when the cost to fill one prescription for just one drug in Canada that costs $40 bucks costs $40,000 bucks in the US? Maybe people feel guilty when they know the work they do just $#@!s people out of everything? Maybe its the victims of getting $#@!ed? Maybe it is Cell Phone Addiction? Maybe its too many / not enough vaccines? Maybe its the food? Maybe its the Gut Bacteria? Maybe its a Lack of Vitamin D3? Maybe it isnt just one of these things, but they are all contributing factors?
What is causing this rate to go up? What has caused our Life Expectancy in the US to go down?
