Men are what, 10x more successful in suicide attempts? It's quite the discrepancy.
- sdinsn 7y agoMale gun ownership is 62% while female is 22%. Male suicide rate is somewhere between 3 to 5 times higher than female suicide rate in the US. Globally, males are ~2x more likely. Note that women are also ~20% more likely to see health professionals.
- scarmig 7y agoEven in the UK, where guns are a rare instrument of suicide, men kill themselves 3-4x as often as women.
