A Very Disturbing Trend


The chart above is from the Center for Disease Control & Prevention. It shows the suicide rate among the population of the United States (number of suicides per 100,000 people). One would have hoped that the suicide rate would be dropping, but just the opposite has happened. It is rising, and rising significantly. It has risen from 10.7 in 2001 to 14 in 2017 -- a jump of 30.84%.
