The CDC reported a national suicide rate of 14.9 per 100k in 2022. Suicide was the highest among American Indians, followed by Whites. Asians have the lowest rate. This is the highest suicide rate they have ever published. This website has previously published data on the alarming rise in suicide rates in the USA.
Note that 2022 CDC is classified as “provisional” and is subject to change. However, usually when the numbers change they go up, not down.
