While experts emphasize the multifaceted nature of suicide causes, from rising depression rates to restricted access to mental health services, Jill Harkavy-Friedman of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention particularly highlights the increased
accessibility of firearms.
Older adults showed the most significant rise in suicide rates: nearly 7% for those aged 45 to 64, and over 8% for those 65 and up. For adults between 25 to 44, suicide rates grew by around 1%, making it the second leading cause of death in 2022, a
significant jump from being the fourth in 2021.
