Suicide deaths forecast for 13.7% increase - OmegaLogos - 08-11-2020 Explanation: I asked a couple of questions related to covid19 and mental health in another thread ... Left-wing views among young women are linked to mental illness by @"Wallfire" and I quote myself ... Quote:@ Everybody ... And I realized I hadn't considered nor included the mortality rate for mental health issues. So I went and looked things up and did some basic research and here is what I have found out ... How common are mental health problems? Quote:Suicidal thoughts and self-harm Suicide deaths forecast for 13.7% increase Quote:According to the model, under the best-case scenario, Australia was likely to see 19 878 suicide deaths over the period 2020–2025, an increase of at least 13.7%. Quote:This latest report comes after InSight+ last week published a View from experts at the Black Dog Institute questioning the validity of the Brain and Mind Centre’s previous place-based modelling. That modelling, released in May, had projected that increased unemployment, social disconnection and health services at capacity would result in an extra 750–1500 suicides per year over 5 years, with an increase rate of 25–50% per year. Personal Disclosure: Ok let me crank the maths now eh ... The % of covid10 deaths overall [using the above figures ok] is 1 in 1000 people die OR 0.1%! OK we round off 19,878 to 20,000 for ease of doing maths ... and the Australian population is 26million people [2020 numbers rounded up] divided by 20,000 = 1300 ... 100/1300 = 0.077% So mental health issues AFFECT far more people BUT kill less than covid19 kills. I hope this new perspective helps my fellow rogues make the best decisions they can in regards to how deadly covid19 and mental health issues are. Stay Healthy ok. |
