Heroin overdose is one cause cited, among others.

Far more than just health issues though, a general malaise in society about how we live is the debate. Why are not other racea so affected?

I find it amusing that they say white people, black people, Hispanic people etc etc etc, not just in this article but in general.

End of the day a mans a man and a woman's a woman.

I find it annoying when a the media calls out suspects by their race, except if their white. If we heard white male once in awhile wed be less sensatized to the racism of it all.

Suicide rates among middle class, white men and women in their 20s-50s are higher than ever. These are generally affluent, educated people who should be enjoying everything that life has to offer. Why are they unable to get the help that they need? It's just a mystery to me.

I think other races are affected. Maybe the white population is catching up to the rest of the races.

For the most part, the medical community is evolved enough to recognize that different races experience different tenancies, afflictions, side effects and drug interactions. As do different genders. Which by the way, breaking the data down by gender may have been instructive.

Appears to be afflictions of abundance. Suicide, drugs, alcohol, obesity.
