In the United States alone in 2022, over 40,000 suicides were logged and statistics from the CDC express over 1.2 million suicide attempts. 

Anti-Depressants/Psychotics  are in the top 5 prescription medications (sharing with 3 cardiovascular-related medications and NSAIDs standing-in for pain medications grouped).
