Okay, so the big news of the day is obviously that Anthony Bourdain, the CNN host, killed himself. He hung himself, apparently, at the age of 61. And this raises a number of serious

questions about exactly how the American public ought to treat suicide, what we can do to

minimize the risk of suicide. First of all, let me begin by saying that if you are depressed or if you

are suicidal, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. That is 1-800-273-8255. Your life is worth more than throwing it away. There are so many different aspects to the suicide epidemic that's happening in the United States right now, and really is an epidemic. It's not only celebrities. It's not just Robin Williams. It's not just Kate Spade. It's not just Anthony Bourdain.

Apparently, both Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade were apparently, at least I know this is true of

Kate Spade. She was very obsessed with the Robin Williams suicide. What happens with a lot of folks

who commit suicide is they become fixated on other people's suicide. There is a copycat effect

that happens with regard to suicide.

I want to give you some of the statistics on American suicide because they're extraordinarily

scary. As of 2014, American suicide rates had skyrocketed to their highest rate in three decades,

all the way to 13 people per 100,000, even as death rates from other causes have declined markedly.

Suicide is particularly common among middle-aged white people.
