I'd say a population with high suicide rates is more afflicted by mental health issues than one with lower rates. What would you say?
- ntSean 5y agoNo, it is down to policy and culture. Simply put: I could purposely crash my car and it would not be counted as a suicide or homicide. While there are a lot of reasons for that to be the case, my point is the numbers are not representative of our current position. A more holistic approach measuring alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, social media sentiment, and workforce participation. Unfortunately, all of which are indicating that the majority are collectively suffering.
