Hot damn, BUT I question American face values specifically because it's conflating a second epidemic: overdoses are often recorded as suicide when it's not a clear accident like a medical interaction with prescriptions - it's up to the coroner.

Access is about more than billing.
In the US you need to wait multiple months to see a specialist, about 9 where i live as a new patient, and/or pay massively out of pocket for a private specialist ( $300-1000 per session).
Your other option is to say you're thinking of killing yourself, but this is a direct route to involuntary care which red-flags you and gets your guns confiscated with virtually no hope of having your rights restored, as well as a record that gets in the way of getting a new job, housing, etc.
So, if you're the average depressed person, have zero friends and have non-zero guns, you're kind of on an island.
These are all things having little to do with suicide: Japan completely disarmed everyone outside of government in the 90's, and they have better access to healthcare than Americans, but suicide rates only grew. Attention needs to be on root causes, like the explosive rise in loneliness and identifying how to repair some of the social changes brought on by a complete paradigm shift to how humans share information and interact with one another.

They could have just voted Republican if they were just going to oppose the same policies they voted for...
Because we've done a bad job of reconciling everything popular culture tells you it means to be a man or manly or sexually attractive with everything popular culture also says is outdated or wrong or cringe or even which you'll be ostracized or even punished. Also the latter is a moving target while the former is not. It's not surprising they choose to listen to non-conflicting voices, and it's lazy to just blame Republicans as if there's nothing for the left to learn from and improve on other than ways to beat Republicans.
