Maybe there isn't always something that can be done to help. Why is the onus on me and us to make sure this number decreases? The people that should be helping are the family and friend core of the upset person... It isn't my duty.

What can we do? Don't kill ourselves.
Other than that, not much, other than live your own life as best you can and try to not hurt other people.
What must NOT happen is getting the Govt. involved.
Problem is after 10 years of not taking those drugs anymore? All of those horrible thoughts I had of ending my own life and ending the life of others NEVER go away. It was like living in a Clive Barker horror story. They were like bad dreams that I can't forget. If the government doesn't step in to put Big Pharm in check who will?
Ever wonder why so many people bring up SSRI's when one of our children shoot up a school? It isn't guessing, it's experience from what WE have experienced while on these drugs.
in a perfect world with no war or famine or hate or prejudice, there would still be suicides, albeit less.

I just saw a thing on tv
Which is why TV and media constantly try to reinforce the lie that money equals happiness or success.
a world with no famine, war or prejudice allows for too much rapid growth with no sustenance and not enough resources to support the rapid increase.
we humans, along with 2 other species, one of which is the tarsier, are known to commit suicide when stressed.
Those 3 that you mentioned hardly would account for a rapid increase leading to depletion of resources. We chuck away so much food and overproduce food as well. The universe is bountiful - "scarcity thinking" keeps prices high.
