I'm a long-time Google Music subscriber (at the original $8/mo price point) and had no idea that it even came with YouTube Premium until I realized I hadn't seen any YouTube ads in years.
While it might be valid to frame suicide as death from mental illness, how can you say that the death rate from mental illness has been increasing when we don't even really know the size of the population with mental illness. A lot of mental illness goes unrecognized.
I would argue that the problem is in recognizing mental illness and connecting those affected to the appropriate mental health professionals.
