THIS month, the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) released a report suggesting that America’s suicide rate increased by 25% between 1999 and 2016.
The male suicide rate remains almost four times that for women, and suicide rates for whites are higher and have been climbing faster than those for other racial and ethnic groups.
The link between erosion of relative status and suicide may also involve gender and race. A 35-country study by Allison Milner of Griffith University and colleagues suggested rising female labour force participation is associated with increased male suicide rates.

Research suggests that poor, white men may be particularly at risk

Everyone keeps asking OMG WHY ARE ALL DEEZ MASS SHOOTINGS HABBENING. Well maybe its related to the insane increase in male suicide, especially amongst younger males and their discontent with society.
