Health Nerd added,
I actually wrote about the theory behind suicidality and COVID-19 way back in July. Even then, the eventual outcome was very hard to predicthttps://gidmk.medium.com/is-covid-19-causing-suicides-f6c6760afdeb …
And some of the other evidence looking at suicide rates during COVID-19 and lockdownshttps://gidmk.medium.com/have-lockdowns-caused-suicides-during-covid-19-dd6b7a741f39 …
Did you take a look at his sources? More than 90% of the data is missing. 37 states, including 11 of the 12 largest do not have data. 3 months of data is missing for most of the 13. Overdoses are missing. Call data is missing. Emergency department data is missing.
Many sources are news articles. From Alaska, overdoses are up significantly as are emergency department visits from suicide ideation in Q2-Q4. Careline calls were up. Here are the sourceshttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Qe7JygejkHS0EvWkoBrURbFUyjBk5aYrb-U0gzl3rE/edit#gid=1487714745 …
I think he was very clear about the limitations of this dataset in the thread, yes. And there are many mental health measures that are very useful and important but we are talking here about suicide rates specifically
Limitations? He said, "*THE SUICIDE RATE HAS NOT INCREASED*". The vast majority of the data was not presented for suicides. How can any scientist make a conclusion from what he shared?
You should definitely read the whole thread, because it gives you all the context you would like
