Is There A Common Dominator For The Rising US Epidemics Of Deaths From Suicide, Drug Overdose, Prescription Opiates And Heroin?

Is There A Common Dominator For The Rising US Epidemics Of Deaths From Suicide, Drug Overdose, Prescription Opiates And Heroin?


From 2000 to 2014
§  Suicide rates increased by 1.2 times.
§  Heroine deaths increased by 4.9 times.
§  Drug overdose deaths increased by 2.4 times.
§  Opiate Prescriptions deaths increased by 1.8 times.
A possible shared influence
§  Not effected by the economy or wars
§  Has counteracted advances in psychiatric treatment and suicide prevention.
§  Has contradicted significant progress in reducing suicide in Japan  and the European Union .
§  Has grown stronger consistent with the execution of criminal actions against psychiatrists and pain physicians .
§  Has created a hostile environment for people with chronic pain, addiction and psychiatric illness .
§  Has restricted access to adequate psychiatric and pain treatment.

   There seems to be statistically significant evidence  to suggest governmental regulations empowered by the criminalization of psychiatry and pain medicine has been the driving force behind the US epidemics of suicide, overdose and heroine deaths.
