As ever, this says nothing about mental health in general, very little about lockdown-induced depression/anxiety, but it is certainly a counterpoint to the suggestion that lockdown would cause a dramatic increase in the suicide rate

All those Victorian suicide statistics for the last 3 years look solidly inside the range of expected random variation. No COVID-19 effect, no lockdown effect, no effect from increased benefits (benefits may have helped avoid a COVID/lockdown effect)

Pretty much. If you standardize by population (which has grown modestly) there has been a slight decrease, but it's on the order of 0.05-0.1 per 100,000 so nothing big

The problem is now to find all those f#ckwit tweets of people who claimed that lockdowns would make suicides skyrocket and rub this under their nose.

That would be any Murdoch “journalist”.

The people who worry about this is not at all worried about suicides caused by the disease like ptsd in health professionals or mental ilness as a result of the disease.
