Mental health has been at the forefront since this pandemic started. On Tuesday, The Franklin County Coroner’s Office released suicide statistics for the last six months showing a suicide increase, including in kids 19 years old and younger.

Overall, suicides have jumped from 4 percent to 9 percent in the past six months. Even though the sampling is small, only 75 deaths total, local psychologists say it’s still concerning.
