I obviously cannot judge the accuracy of these results, but they are plausible. Retweeting because opponents of restrictions tend to talk about suicides rising from distancing like they are a fact, even though there's no good data.

It's a perfectly reasonable hypothesis, but your intuition that it must be so does not mean it *is* so. Nor does the person you know who has become despondent; every year, some people become despondent.
It's natural to assume that the stresses of social distancing must be contributing, but it's also natural to assume that the vaccination your kid got three weeks before they started to manifest autistic behaviors must have caused the autism. It might be coincidence.
There might also be countervailing effects--some kids may be doing better in remote school, because they're mercifully free of bullying for a year.
Of course, suicides might have risen. But you shouldn't state something like that as a fact unless you actually have national data
