Most Suicidal Cities in America

Although suicide is a topic that most of us would rather not discuss, it affects us all. We often comfort ourselves with the notion that it wouldn’t happen to us or those we love. After all, we believe that if our loved ones were feeling hopeless and depressed we would be among the first to know, and we would help them. So, before anything bad happens, let’s check out if your loved one lives in any of these 10 most suicidal cities in the U.S.

Each year in the U.S., more than 34,000 people commit suicide. But that's not the whole story. Truth is, suicide rates vary tremendously across the country, with the highest rates tending to be in rural areas and places where depressed people have easy access to firearms.

Some U.S. Cities were depressed even before the economy went on life support. These were the cities that saw the highest depression and suicide rates even while the Countrywide Financial was considered a respected mortgage lender. Why? Blame a variety of reasons, from divorce and crime to lousy weather and job loss. With the rest of the country struggles with the financial crisis, it is possible that some of these cities may soon become even unhappier.

After all, depression is one of the greatest risk factors of them all. So, Insidermonkey have taken a look at the States, and made a list of 10 most suicidal cities in America to enlighten you.
