Just to say in the UK the suicide death rate is 11.2 according to google. They say in 2017 to 2018, there was an increase of 1.0 of the population. They think was the lowest since 1981.
However, I will try to be careful how I say this regarding those who have lost people they know to suicide.
The numbers of people who are facing Mental health as a whole in the UK are very high. According to Rethink 80 percent of people facing Mental health these days and it sounds as it has mostly increased in the last year to a year and a half due to lockdown.
At least 60 present worryings about their families and maybe even friends etc facing Covid and they have felt affected by not seeing them, which that adds up to around 69 percent.
about 40 percent of people Rethink said, less support is affecting them mainly in Mental health it's from Mental health services. My question is how and why is to this? Could it be because through lockdown people have been having to access support etc online more so compared to before the lockdown?
What is also concerning is about 36 percent of people who Rethink support say they haven't booked appointments because they worried about catching the Covid and they fear Burding the NHS or and case there were no appointments possible.
29 percent of people find their Mental health and the lockdown have had a big effect on their employment.
Like everything, there are advantages and disadvantages. There are advantages and disadvantages of online access even though there has been no other choice through the lockdown. Not everyone knows how to use everything online access at least I don't anyway. Some Mental health services cost and others do.
Some may be costly to a lot of people mainly for those who have not been working through the lockdown etc.
Therefore, not saying but some people such as myself, who have or and may have faced Mental health through the lockdown may have had no choice but to just get on with it, which most people who may be or may have faced the same, would possibly say the same as me, it hasn't been easy.
However' yes I admit the Samaritans are just a call away, guess many of us don't think about it really, and maybe because we were locked down from everything else I guess. https://www.rethink.org/help-in-your-area/services/advice-and-helplines/
