For example, people who have experienced violence, including child abuse, bullying, or sexual violence have a higher su***de risk. Being connected to family and community support and having easy access to health care can decrease suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Su***de rates increased 30% during the period of 2000–2018, and declined in 2019 and 2020. Su***de is a leading cause of death with over 45,979 deaths in the United States alone during 2020.
