Suicide was declared a public health crisis by the U.S. Surgeon General in 1999. However, suicide rates continued to climb over the past two decades by a staggering 35% (1999-2018). Fortunately, we have seen decreases in the national suicide rates from 2018-2020. The pandemic’s impact on mental health is a major focus of public health concern and while distress and mental health suffering have increased, the suicide rate in the US actually decreased by 3% from 2019 to 2020.
