More and more Americans are dying by suicide. What are we missing?

Summary:
In the modern world there can be a lot of loneliness. There are people everywhere, but do they have much time left after work? Suicide is the nation's 10th-leading cause of death, with 14.2 deaths per 100,000 people, though that rate alone belies the scope of the problem. While thousands of people die by suicide each year, millions think about it. In 2017, 10.6 million American adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.2 million made a plan, and 1.4 million attempted it, USA Today  George picked up the story from another twitter person who apologised later about it.
