"Whether it's the media that is influencing popular opinion, or mistaken beliefs by the public that appear in news stories, it's unfortunate to see there are still persistent misimpressions about the holidays and suicide," said Dan Romer, research director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center.
The month with the highest rate of suicide in 2022, according to the CDC, was June, followed by May, then July and August. Overall, July has historically had the highest rate of suicide - proving that cold, gloomy weather doesn't necessarily translate to a higher risk of depression or suicide.
