Then why has the rate of suicides fallen instead of rising in the same period mental healths apparently should have gotten worse?

  Which period are you referring to? According to https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/i/101249738/increases-in-suicide https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/i/101249738/increases-in-... this is not the case.

    There's a hard line drawn on that chart in the year 2012, as if it's some sort of significant outlier in the data, except that it's not. The upward trend in suicides seems to begin in 2007.

      That's not why the line was drawn. > In the rest of this Substack post, I offer a preview of the evidence that a mental illness epidemic emerged around 2012 All of the charts have this line to highlight how the chart relates to the supposed theory of "problems starting in 2012". Not every chart will show anomalies around that time though.
