The suicide death rate recently became the number one cause of injury related deaths in the United States surpassing deaths caused by car accidents.

It should not be the leading cause of death in the United States. This is alarming because good people are dying.

According to National Center for Health Statistic, the death rate for suicide went up 15 percent while it decreased 25 percent for car wrecks, which was the leading cause of death before the new research was conducted.

Why has the suicide rate gone up? Can the economy and stress have that much of an impact on someone’s life?

As we all know, there have been some tough economical situations these past couple of years, causing many people to become stressed.

Many of us will find it stressing when prices go up for pretty much everything and we can’t get that second job to support our financial needs since jobs are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

Everyone is also placed in problematic situations that just seem too much to handle at different points of their life, but it’s on the person to handle it the right way.

Whatever the reason may be, the suicide rate may have gone up due to these situations that can lead to a huge load of stress. Suicide shouldn’t be the leading cause of the death in the United States, especially due to the fact that there’s always help for issues that cause stress.

Suicide also shouldn’t be a scapegoat for a person with a huge problem at hand; there are many things that can be done to prevent suicides, getting help is one of those things.
