Experts say progress made in 2019 in the area of mental health deaths was likely undone by the pandemic.
“The increase in terms of alcohol, drugs and suicide may have to do as well with the pressures people are experiencing in their lives,” said John Auerbach, President and CEO of Trust for America's Health, a nonpartisan nonprofit.
Trust for America's Health found increasing deaths due to drug and alcohol use, but a slight drop in suicide deaths in 2019. But preliminary data from during the pandemic suggests all that will increase.
