>Suicide rates... are skyrocketing

Not globally. A search suggests suicide rates are down 15% in 10 years. That is, suicides have gone down remarkably.

If we're talking about the UK/US (which I haven't sourced but I can believe), it's more likely that conservative policies are driving people to feel they have no alternative.
