While @CDCgov reported in Aug. that thoughts of suicide among people in the U.S. have increased two-fold from June 2019-2020, we do not have evidence that suicide rates in the U.S. have risen over the past year. https://bit.ly/2Ul9cl9 .
Suicidal thoughts are an opportunity for #suicideprevention and intervention. For every one person who dies by suicide, there are 280 others who have serious suicidal and self-harm thoughts who don't kill themselves.
