Mortality due to overdose and suicide is rising... https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/u-s-death-rates-suicides-alcohol-drug-overdoses-reach-all-n101621

  Public perception of suicide is highly skewed, particularly because many journalists refuse to report cases to deter imitators, unless it cannot be avoided. While I understand the noble reasons behind it, I do raise an eyebrow considering the fact it can be convenient for a malfunctioning society to sweep it failings under the rug that way. On the other hand, I do feel slightly patronized, as if I weren't able to handle the "truth"...

    I guess existence of imitators and clusters does mean you are statistically not able to handle the truth. Deal with it :)
