Suicide Rates Increase in Adults

In today's world, news media focuses on tons of teen suicides that have tragic stories such as girls being bullied til their death, but what about the other millions of people who commit suicide, that don't get any media attention? Recently a report came back from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention about the  suicide rates among adults. According to the report, between the years of 1999 and 2010, people of the age between 35 to 64 had a 28.4% increase of suicide.They also said specifically people from 50 to 59 year old suicide rates has doubled. Not only did the report show that suicide rates has doubled for adults it also showed that 38,000 Americans committed suicide in 2010, which is more than the people who died from a homicide the same year. Dr. Tom Frieden from the CDC says, "This report highlights the need to expand our knowledge of risk factors so we can build on prevention programs that prevent suicide." Also Lanny Berman, from the American Association of Suicidology believes the suicide increase of adults has rocketed because of the recession and the depression that comes with it. Although people may never know why the suicide rate is increasing they are working on ways to promote prevention.
