Japan's suicide rate (according to them) 19.5 per 100,000 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2...er-decline-suicides-japan-21897/#.WqkrSujwa1s Until just after 1999, the U.S. rate was 10.5 compared to a higher rate for Japan "...the annual U.S. suicide rate increased 24% between 1999 and 2014, from 10.5 to 13.0 suicides per 100,000" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_the_United_States What happened in America from 1999 to 2014? At least we know what's been going on in our country. As conditions are being made as bad as that of other countries, our suicide rates are climbing. Who would've thunk it?
