"Suicide is a major public health issue, accounting for nearly 45,000 deaths in 2016 alone. That is why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta decided to take a comprehensive look at suicides from 1999 to 2016.
"'Suicide in this country really is a problem that is impacted by so many factors. It's not just a mental health concern,' says Deborah Stone, a behavioral scientist at the CDC and the lead author of the new study. 'There are many different circumstances and factors that contribute to suicide. And so that's one of the things that this study really shows us. It points to the need for a comprehensive approach to prevention.'"
