That happens all the time regardless of lockdowns.
The damage to some people from lockdowns is terrible broken marriages and forced sale of the home.
Selective quoting and misquoting. You ate one too many crayonsLet's look at your claims on suicide:
No evidence that any to date can be attributable as suicide rates declined in 2020 and are fewer in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
See my point above (as I explained many times it was meaningless to use only one month's data).
No evidence presented and this did not happen in 2020.
No evidence presented.
Except that bankruptcies declined in January, so your premise is false.
In relation to bankruptcies you clearly said "an up in suicide rates is a valid assumption".
Everyone knows there are other issues of significant concern, but it irresponsible to make claims that are refuted by evidence.
That's a pretty broad brush . ANY suicide attributed to lockdowns ?
What about people with incurable diseases who don't want to have any more treatment ?
Chronic depression brought about by marriage breakdowns etc.
These causes have been present long before covid and will be there after its gone. (If it ever is).
Disgusting. No concept of history.SBS reports over 10,000 calls to police from people recognising someone at the Sydney rampage. Amazing. Those Sydney siders are really really angry.
In some cases it was family. Imagine having your Mum ring up to dob you in!

Seig Heil ?I know I will regret this... what history would that be?
Not a good look.Your friendly neighborhood pigs, just following orders:
You gave one cherry picked correct month where suicide deaths increased a year later, but at no time showed there was a trend (data showed opposite to your claim), and never linked any actual suicides to lockdowns.Selective quoting and misquoting. You ate one too many crayons
Give it time. Lifeline or similar received the most calls every. It's having a hugely negative effect. I'd be expecting another bump if current measures stay in place. I'm also wondering if we will bump when everything is lifted.You gave one cherry picked correct month where suicide deaths increased a year later, but at no time showed there was a trend (data showed opposite to your claim), and never linked any actual suicides to lockdowns.
This week Suicide Prevention Australia confirmed that suicides numbers have not increased during periods of lockdown.
"Fortunately, while there has been a rise in the use of mental health services and an increase in psychological distress there hasn't been a rise in deaths by suicide."
Lockdowns have been variously in place since well over a year ago and associated mental health issues appear not to have translated into increased suicides. That might seem counter intuitive, but covid has triggered significant additional social and and economic safety nets, aside from evidence that people are increasingly using social media to remain "connected" and informed:
