This acceleration corresponds to an additional 1580 suicides per year (95% CI 860–2300). Thus, during the recessionary period after 2007, there were an estimated 4750 excess suicide deaths (95% CI 2570–6920.

I’m pleased to see the discussion occur.
I’ve never been ashamed to speak out about my daily battles with chronic, clinical depression and social anxiety disorder; they’re illnesses and aren’t something I chose.
That said, my psychiatrist (not my therapist) requires I see him once a month.
His office is currently closed indefinitely; however, they called me today and are insisting on scheduling a phone/virtual/Skype (my choice) appointment with me, ASAP.
I appreciated the proactive nature.
Please check-in on your friends, neighbors, and family.
We all need to take care of each other.

I was saying this yesterday to someone and taken to task. Unfortunately the domestic violence deaths are going to increase significantly the longer people are locked in too. I have no science to back this, just a lifetime working in public safety which unfortunately allows me to see these trends regardless of whether or not they make the news.

I’ve been saying that. I am surrounded by people that will have to delay retirement or lost their jobs or businesses. We will look back 5 years from now and see more depression related suicide deaths than deaths from the virus.

I know two mental health professionals who have already said there is an uptick in suicides in the last 3 weeks.
These would be people with "issues" and the panic is the final straw. Once financial issues get tight it will get worse.

Kind of a large spread in the second set.
I think suicide is difficult and hard to actually determine. Likely more variables that aren't accounted for and numbers could go anyway depending on the variables. I hope they didn't only account for recession in their study.
