FactsAreUseless posted:I suspect strongly, but would need an actual psychologist or sociologist or something to back this up, that you see increased suicide rates in men because men are culturally encouraged to not express emotion. So more men are pushed to that level of desperation. But that's very much an offhand hypothesis. Another factor (at least in the US) appears to be the method of suicides. Generally speaking it appears that women and men actually have similar rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts. However, men tend to gravitate to methods that are relatively more likely to succeed, most prominently guns which make up more than half of successful male suicides. Women on the other hand are more likely to go for poison or overdoses of medication, which offer a greater chance of survival and consequentially actual treatment.
