Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US, and one of the few causes of death that are actually on the rise, according to the CDC. Suicides and self-harm injuries cost the US approximately $70 billion per year in medical bills and lost income.

 

The report included deaths by suicide in people ages 10 or older in all 50 states, including the District of Columbia, between 1999 and 2016. The researchers also looked at the circumstances contributing to suicide in 27 states in 2015.

 

Suicide rates increased in almost all states between 1999 and 2016 — some by more than 30%.
