Is there really an increase in suicide during these times? My assumption with suicide is that it's a problem of meaning. If we're healthy and our needs are taken care of, but don't find joy due to lack of meaning, it can create inescapable despair. Going through tough times though, that tends to give a person something to fight against.
What's the suicide rate in the Congo, or Nigeria compared to here? Must be through the roof since they have it much worse than most of us.
