From the report: > Provisional mortality data found an overall decrease in the age-adjusted suicide rate from quarter 3 (July–September) of 2019 to quarter 3 of 2020. The suicide rate among young persons aged 15–24 years during this same period saw no significant change (9). So in other words: what changed was the rate of emergency department admissions, not actual suicides. I would wonder if lockdowns meant that more suicide attempts were made near family, who would then notice the attempt and take the person to the ED.
