Dr. Arias noted that the higher suicide rates might be due to a series of life and financial circumstances that are unique to the baby boomer generation. Men and women in that age group are often coping with the stress of caring for aging parents while still providing financial and emotional support to adult children.
“Their lives are configured a little differently than it has been in the past for that age group,” Dr. Arias said. “It may not be that they are more sensitive or that they have a predisposition to suicide, but that they may be dealing with more.”
阿里亞斯博士指出，較高的自殺率可能是由嬰兒潮一代人所特有的一系列生活和經濟情況所導致。這個年齡層的男女通常需要面臨著的很大壓力，他們在照顧年邁父母的同時仍需為成年子女提供經濟和情感支持。
“對與這一代人，他們與之前這個年齡段的人群的生活有些不同，”阿里亞斯博士說。“這大概不是因為他們更加敏感或有自殺傾向，而是因為他們可能要處理更多問題。”
