I'd say a population with high suicide rates is more afflicted by mental health issues than one with lower rates. What would you say?

No, it is down to policy and culture.

Simply put: I could purposely crash my car and it would not be counted as a suicide or homicide.

While there are a lot of reasons for that to be the case, my point is the numbers are not representative of our current position.

A more holistic approach measuring alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, social media sentiment, and workforce participation.

Unfortunately, all of which are indicating that the majority are collectively suffering.
