American Psychiatric Association: Deaths by Suicide Drop in 2020 While Overall
Deaths Soared During Pandemic
Deaths by suicide declined by almost 6% from 2019 to 2020, according to a report in JAMA
based on statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The decline is one hopeful finding in an otherwise grim report that revealed a
17.7% increase in overall deaths in 2020, with most of those directly attributable to
COVID-19.
