Deaths by suicide are down to 9%  to their peak in the pandemic shutdown compared to previous years, a surprising percentage increase in reported stages of stress, anxiety and depression. 

There were more than 2,400  deaths by suicide between March and August 2020. It usually might not have been expected, said Dr Jeremy Samuel Faust,  a heart surgeon in the Division of Health Policy and Public Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and a trainer at Harvard Medical School.

“The number of cases went down to its height during the pandemic period,” said Faust, who co-wrote the paper. “In April, we had a 16% decrease in suicides, and that’s the time when most of the Nation was shut down.”The numbers are at odds with predictions last 12 months that “deaths of despair” from suicide, alcohol and drugs could go as high as 150,000. Death rates for suicide had been growing for years, climbing 35% since 1999.

That changed last year. For all of 2020, suicide deaths declined by 5.6%, keeping with initial records from the National Center for Health Statistics. That compares to an increase in deaths from coronary heart sickness, stroke, Alzheimer’s disorder and diabetes.

 Researchers consider the pandemic triggered people to forgo the doctor, missing regular care that could have picked up early warning signs of illness. Due to the ongoing pandemic, people are not concerned about their Mental Health which can be the main reason for a person having suicidal thoughts. Everyone usually worries about their physical health and not giving too much attention to what is going on in the mind

Death through suicide is different, stated Thomas Joiner, a professor of psychology at Florida State University and a professional on suicide.
