To me the date that stands out most starkly is that everything was improving until 9/11, until it started back upwards. Suicide rates by veterans (due to PTSD) aren't broken out separately but they are notoriously high, and the US has been at war since then.

May also be worth considering school shootings and the psychological impact of "preventative" drills inducing fear of them.
