      You’re suggesting that the cause of a wave of suicides is only a lack of therapy? There’s nothing else behind it?

          Therapy can possibly help heal. I’m more interested in reducing the conditions which make therapy necessary.

            You don’t understand. You don’t need to have a mental health condition to go to therapy. Healthy minded people benefit from therapy as well to put their emotions and thoughts into perspective.

        Increase gun ownership is likely a factor, among many other factors.

            No, but it’s causing suicide attempts turn into suicides. If you try to OD or whatever, your chances of death are much lower than if you try to see what the barrel of your gun tastes like.
