Suicide & Depression Rates Across the U.S.

As demonstrated by this map, rates of suicide are higher in the intermountain west region than in any other region of the U.S. The reason is still largely unknown; however, research to date suggests a strong correlation between rates of suicide and altitude of residence.

About This Project

We hypothesize that the administration of two widely available, naturally occurring dietary supplements, in addition to standard antidepressant therapy, will reduce severity of depression in individuals residing at higher altitudes. The Intermountain West is known for depression and suicide rates that are higher than the national average and it is important that we investigate more effective novel treatments for individuals who reside at elevation.
