The deaths of the designer Kate Spade and the chef Anthony Bourdain, both of whom committed
suicide this week, were not simply pop culture tragedies. They were the latest
markers of an intractable public health crisis that has been
unfolding in slow motion for a generation.
Treatment for chronic
depression and anxiety — often the precursors to suicide — has never been more
available and more widespread. Yet the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention this week reported a steady, stubborn rise in the national suicide rate,
up 25 percent since 1999.
