I was recently looking over the numbers regarding suicide rates and the numbers are at an al ltime high!  What do you think is the reason  for the increased amount of suicides?

There's no blanket explanation for this, is this suicide rate rising locally or globally? Did you mean a specific country? Suicide rates are going up on my home country (Venezuela) for obvious reasons, it's sad to think about it in the sense that, ever since I was young, family/friends always referred to home as the "land of happiness", and to see statistics such as these rise just break my heart.

You can see here suicide rates globally: http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/suicide-rate-by-country/, would be cool to be able to see the change over the years, as this site only shows 2018.
