Many youth suicide attempts involved common medications 

A review of more than 1.6 million suicide attempts by youth and young adults found that cases involving substances are more common in rural areas and during the school year, and often involve medications commonly found at home. The review looked at suicide attempts by self-poisoning by people ages 10 to 25 from 2000 to 2018, more than 410,000 of which led to serious medical problems. The two substances most commonly used were over-the-counter pain medications, like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin, followed by antidepressants. Among people 10 to 15 years old, ADHD drugs were also frequently used. Opioids accounted for 7% of cases with serious medical outcomes. Researchers also found that more rural states had higher rates of attempts, and that attempts were more common during the school year as compared to summer months.
