Love To Live

The Friday File: Contrary to popular myth, suicide rates actually fall during the holiday season. In 2010, there were 38,364 suicides, making it the 10th leading cause of death with an average of about 105/day. July was the month with the highest average at 111.3/day. The rate was actually lowest in December, yes December, at 98.2/day. Rates actually spike in the spring and summer. Live long and prosper! Happy 2013!
