You are absolutely right! [Yaruss](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/16o8l2l/participate_in_stuttering_research_exploring_the/) (PhD) found that a significant proportion of adults who stutter (**67.9%** in the sample) reported experiencing suicidal ideation to some degree. **What about adults who don't stutter? How high is it?** The WHO conducted community surveys in 21 countries (N > 100,000) and found that the prevalence of suicidal ideation was 2.0% (Borges et al., 2010). The lifetime estimated prevalence of suicidal ideation has been estimated at 9.0% (Nock et al., 2008). In the United States, the annual prevalence of suicidal ideation has been recently estimated at 4.0% (Piscopo et al., 2016) ([1](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tl7764WsaYVgkwU-nc9oJI_lo-J8Y0iv/view?pli=1)).
