Every year, nearly forty five thousand people in America kill themselves. That's more than twice the number that die in homicides, and while in the rest of the western world suicide rates are falling, in the US the numbers have increased by nearly a third. And there's one group causing this spike. Middle aged white men. And Race is relevant because the suicide rates for Black and Asian Americans haven't changed much in years. India Rakusen has been to the Montana town of Missoula, where suicide rates here have increased by more than fifty percent in the last five years, to find out what's driving so many white, middle aged, and often working class men to despair.
