@USRepGaryPalmer : "we saw a surge in teen suicide, particularly among women" (factually incorrect, teen suicides did not increase nor women's suicides)
* ER visits didnt increase
* Suicide rates did not increase in women.
* Teen suicides didn't increase significantly.

She does not have the expertise to speak about mental health. Recommend if @EnergyCommerce is interested in mental health they speak to mental health experts. Would you host a Canadian virtually? :)
