I am curious too. These data are critical to policymakers today. Without knowing what excess deaths from suicide and overdose look like stratified by age, they can't understand the risk and reward of covid-19 lockdowns. And even if they suspect as I do that the number of life years lost to suicide and overdose caused by lockdowns bmay outweigh the number 'saved' by lockdowns, it will be difficult to persuade anyone of this without data.
Not forcing HHS and CDC to prioritize collection of these statistics was a serious mistake.
