According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_the_United_States), there were 45k suicides in 2016. The suicide rate would have to near triple in order for your prediction to come about. I'm no expert in this field, but it doesn't seem plausible.
