Up 63% in middle aged women and 43% in middle aged men. Overall, the annual rate has doubled in the last decade.
Causes, anyone?

Living and ending life on their own terms. Quality of life is decreasing, expect the rate to keep increasing.

I have no idea but I would consider less actual social interaction in real world relationships probably plays a role.
The price of living on electronic devices perhaps?

Increased heroin usage and suicide have decreased the life expectancy of white people for the first time ever.

Um, probably the amount of dysfunctional bullshite we're exposed to on a daily basis. Things like "chalking", and "bathroom discrimination" come to mind. Add in situations like a Hillary/Trump presidential ticket, you've got plenty of reasons not to want to wait it out here on Earth. The amount of "crisis" situations we're exposed to on a daily basis has far outpaced evolution. We're in constant high alert comparative to our ancestors.

People choosing to medicate themselves instead of fixing themselves.

I'm going with social media.
Just because it seems to be the rage to blame social media for every thing, might as well add this.

Shitty economy and job loss.

Ill add that since Vietnam we haven't had a large purging of citizens.

Weak minded people that wouldn't have made it through any downturn in history. Good riddance!

Researchers also found an alarming increase among girls 10 to 14, whose suicide rate, while still very low, had tripled. The number of girls who killed themselves rose to 150 in 2014 from 50 in 1999. “This one certainly jumped out,” said Sally Curtin, a statistician at the center and an author of the report.
quote:
American Indians had the sharpest rise of all racial and ethnic groups, with rates rising by 89 percent for women and 38 percent for men. White middle-aged women had an increase of 80 percent. The rate declined for just one racial group: black men. And it declined for only one age group: men and women over 75.
Even more evidence that we need more mental health programs.
I'll go ahead and say it. It's amazing. If the numbers were reversed between Black and White suicide rates, people would be screaming all over the place. Instead, it's a footnote. The white male suicide rates are staggering.
