Try googling/binging U.S. suicides this year...thousands have mental issues and sometimes solve the issue by ending their own life....it has always been this way and will only increase as the population density increases and people become more disillusioned with the way life is becoming...it isn't pleasant, but it isn't going to change any time soon.
