Summary of suicide trends over the past two decades (roughly 2000-2020/2022), broken down by gender, age group, and race/ethnicity, based on the information found (compiled from CDC/ National Center for Health Statistics):

Overall Trends:

Increase Followed by Recent Plateau or Slight Decrease: The overall age-adjusted suicide rate increased significantly from 2000 to 2018, peaked, and then plateaued or slightly declined through 2020. However, recent data indicates a potential increase again.

Gender:

Males Consistently Higher Rates: Suicide rates for males are consistently three to four times higher than for females across most age groups and the period studied.
Males: Male suicide rates increased significantly from 2000/2002 to 2018. While there was a decline in 2019-2020, rates began to increase again through 2022.
Females: Female suicide rates increased notably from 2000/2002 to 2015/2018, then experienced a period of stability or slight decline, followed by a recent increase.

Age Groups:

Youth (10-24): Rates have generally increased for both males and females in this age group over the past two decades.
Middle-Aged (25-64): Suicide rates in the middle-age groups have varied over time. For example, rates for males aged 45-64 declined recently.
Older Adults (65+): Older adult male rates remain high, particularly for males 75 and older. Rates for older women have also increased in some age sub-groups.

Race/Ethnicity:

Non-Hispanic White Individuals: After an increase from 2000 to 2018, rates for this group declined through 2020, although rates remained higher than for other groups.
Non-Hispanic Black Individuals: Rates declined initially and then increased significantly from around 2007 to 2020.
Hispanic Individuals: Rates were initially stable and then increased from 2012 to 2020.
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) Individuals: This group consistently has the highest suicide rates overall, and experienced a substantial increase between 2018 and 2021.
