1. Excess deaths are high after lockdown measures
2. These deaths are no longer explained by covid 19 death counts
I know tons of people who have relapsed, regressed, and are just generally unwell at this point. .3% of my Facebook friends have made a suicide attempt since lockdowns began.
The longer this goes on, the more dramatic these incidents are going to become.

That said, the data that is available doesn't point to an increase outside of the historical increase (suicides in the UK have been increasing for a long time)
Suicides in the UK have not been increasing for a long time. They increased this year for the first time since 2007. There are a few reasons for this, but part of it is a change in the standard of proof used by coroner's after the Maughan case. Coroner's used to have to use "beyond all reasonable doubt", and now have to use "balance of probabilities" for a conclusion of suicide.
