I think I agree with this in general. And my own experiences line up with this documented rise. But I also wonder if the rates for men, even white men, are undercounted here. My impression is they’re the group least well equipped to recognize some of the more subtle signs of depression or be vulnerable enough to seek help or admit it on record. Suicide rates for white, middle-aged men are the highest for all groups currently. Either they’re more effective at it (possibly?) or this methodology isn’t capturing something.
