I was curious so I looked into what information was available. It appears suicide rates went from 14 to 17 in 100,000 during The Great Depression. I imagine it was much higher than what was reported due to the culture around suicide back then and the type of institutions that tracked that type of information.

Here is where I found that info:

https://www2.gwu.edu/~erpapers/teachinger/glossary/great-depression.cfm

"The only exception was suicide mortality which increased during the Great Depression, but accounted for less than 2% of deaths."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2765209/

Interesting stuff.
