Perhaps for the same reason that head injury rates were lower in WWI before steel helmets were introduced: the mortality rate was higher.

  That's a particularly negative take, but would be interesting if true. Do you have any reason to believe it is? I'm not even sure how you would measure this. Suicide rate against attempted suicide rate? Other mental health stats?
