Our local "CDC"-equivalent has posted a warning (mostly to media) to avoid reporting about suicides during "the plague"... so yeah...
For young people, the school closings, dorm closings, curfews, movement restrictions and other "only for 14 days" decrees will cause greater psychological harm (and number of dead in that age group), than just letting them all get the virus.
Older people have a higher chance of dying due to corona, so the number might be different, and their social circles are usually a lot smaller, but suicide numbers are going up there too.
