The best argument for lower rates I can think of:
There is allegedly a post-holiday suicide spike. Quarantine precludes many traditional holiday celebrations, be it Christmas or New Year's Eve.

I was curious if people felt more... Right? Or more purposeful or more connected to the world in quarantine in regards to everyone going through the same thing

One expects that economic stress and social isolation would increase suicides. However, Japan has seen a large drop in suicide this year compared to last, attributed to a reduction in work/school-related stressors.

I don't see how the suicide rate wouldn't go up. But this rise is statistically insignificant compared to the lives saved by lockdown. Epidemeological models estimated up to 500k dead in the UK without lockdown measures, the increace in suicides is thus proportionally negligible.

The initial research findings are counterintuitive; fewer suicides. This is not uncommon during some types of disasters. However, the economic aftershock might not have its effect yet. ..
