Increasing Suicide Rates Among Middle-age Persons and Interventions to Manage Patients with Psychiatric Complaints: In conjunction with the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Abstract

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has published significant data and trends related to suicide rates in the United States (U.S.). Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in U.S. adults, and rates are increasing across all geographic regions. There is a significant increase in the suicide rate among adults in the 35-64 age range. We present findings from the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) with commentary on current resources and barriers to psychiatric care.
