According to a shocking new report from the Commonwealth Fund<\/a>, the suicide rate in the United States is the highest that it has ever been before.  Sadly, the same thing can be said about the death rates from drug overdoses and alcohol.  All three death rates are at an all-time record high, and yet our society is still fairly stable at the moment.  So if we are seeing this many \u201cdeaths of despair\u201d right now, what in the world are things going to look like when our society really begins to start crumbling?  Today, Americans have literally thousands of different ways to entertain themselves, and yet we have never been unhappier.  One out of every six Americans is taking psychiatric drugs, we are currently dealing with \u201cthe worst drug crisis in American history\u201d<\/a>, and people are killing themselves in record numbers.  Nobody likes to be told that they are a failure, but it certainly appears that our nation has been on an extremely self-destructive path for a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though \u201cdeaths of despair\u201d have reached record levels, the researchers at the Commonwealth Fund found that there are major regional differences.  The following comes from NBC News<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rates of deaths from suicides, drug overdoses and alcohol have reached an all-time high in the United States, but some states have been hit far harder than others, according to a report released Wednesday by the Commonwealth Fund.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As far as drug overdose deaths are concerned, researchers discovered that the states with the highest death rates were all in northern Appalachia<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
