> Likewise you fail to actually link to any stats to support claims about increased suicide rates Currently there are about 40,000 deaths by suicide in the US each year. We know that deaths by suicide will increase because of economic downturn. We have some understanding of this after 2007 and similar. No-one working in suicide prevention thinks we'll come anywhere near doubling the 40,000 number.
