No good news here. A new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that suicide rates among middle-aged Americans have risen dramatically over the last decade. Between 1999 and 2010, suicide among 35- to 64-year-olds jumped almost 30 percent—most pronounced among men in their 50s. The baby-boomer suicide rise is complex, but experts say they believe it's connected to the years of economic downturn and access to prescription medication.
