Suicide Epidemic: Why Does the Number of People Killing Themselves Just Keep Going Up? - endoftheamericandream.com
Excerpt from this article:
"Did you know that more Americans now die from suicide than are killed in car crashes each year? According to the CDC,
there has been a substantial spike in suicide deaths in the United
States in recent years...We are a deeply, deeply unhappy nation, but of course this
phenomenon is not just limited to America. According to the World
Health Organization, suicide is now the third highest cause of death
in the entire world. Globally, suicide rates have soared by 60 percent
over the past 45 years, and the WHO is now projecting that by the year
2020 someone will be committing suicide somewhere in the world every 20 seconds."
