Facts about Suicide
Facts
More than 34,598 people in the United States died by suicide in 2007. About every 15 minutes someone in this country intentionally ends his/her life.
Although the suicide rate fell from 1992-1999, it was steady for 5 consecutive years despite all of our new treatments. The number of deaths rose by 955 in 2004, by 118 in 2005, by 663 in 2006 and rose even more, by 1298, in 2007.
Although the rate in adolescents and the elderly is falling, alarmingly, the rate in middle age men and women (46-64) is rising.

Primary risk factor for suicide is psychiatric illness: “depression can be lethal” Depression is treatable Destigmatize the illness Destigmatize the treatment Encourage help-seeking behaviors and continuation of treatment Proposed: Billboard campaign AFSP: Depression and Bipolar Awareness: From Diagnosis to Remission Civnar, JG, Perspectives in Psychiatric Care, 2005 77
Professional Education
One of 3 Studies
In the Swedish county of Jämtland the use of antidepressants in 1994 was 25% below the Swedish average and the average suicide rate during 1970-1994 was 10% above the national average. From 1995 to 2005, GPs were offered a two day seminar on treating depression which consisted of lectures, case discussions, and videotape presentations. There was an option to continue one day seminars in future years.
