I assume then that you agree that the data I cited refutes your presumption here:
> A crude metric is quite telling: suicide has trended upwards in the past 20 years. I presume if the data went back further the picture would be more stark.
- catigula 1y agoNo, not really. 1. The data going back 70 years, which is 50 years more than 20, show that suicide has sharply risen. 2. The integrity of data much older than that is substantially in question.
- sokoloff 1y agoAllow me to literally quote from the article I linked: > After two decades of slowly rising, the US suicide rate has stabilized over the past few years. It is now at the same level as the 1950s.
