The full title is "Suicide in England since the COVID-19 pandemic -early figures from real-time surveillance", but that doesn't fit the 80 character limit. This report is from NCISH (the National confidential inquiry into suicide and self harm) which is a national organisation with responsibility for research into suicide. They issue 4 conclusions: > (1) We have found no evidence of the large national rise in suicide post-lockdown that many feared; > (2) There appears to have been no rise in suicide post-lockdown, at least in these areas. The higher figures in 2020 should be seen in the context of a rising national rate and maturing real-time surveillance systems; > (3) There are several important caveats. These are early figures and could change over time or with the inclusion of more areas. We cannot rule out higher rates in some local areas or population sub-groups, especially as the effect of COVID-19 itself has varied between communities; > (4) In particular, it is too soon to examine the full long-term impact of economic adversity on mental health and suicide
