There is no evidence in either direction that suicides are either increasing or decreasing. It should be noted that in the years of economic decline during the great depression in the US life expectancy actually went up. The exact reasons for this aren't known. It's a possibility that in the current circumstances suicides could decrease just as they could increase. It's likely it will have both effects for different individuals, now some at risk people would have others like family members talking to them more often etc., but longer term business people for example who lose everything would probably be more likely to suicide.
