fairly constant?

ANSWER - THE SUICIDE RATE HAS DECREASED BY ABOUT 30 PERCENT BETWEEN 1995 AND NOW - THERE WAS A LITTLE UPWARDS BLIP IN THE LAST TWO YEARS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DECREASE IN THE USE OF ANTIDEPRESSANT TREATMENTS FOR YOUTH DEPRESSION - AS THE TREATMENTS WENT DOWN THE RATES WENT UP BY THE SAME PROPORTION BUT OVERALL THE RATES HAVE BEEN GOING DOWN SUBSTANTIVALLY)
