Research shows that women usually outlive men due to the fact that man often commit suicide more than women.
A while back, residents of the complex where I used to live were rattled when the body of a very successful dentist who had taken his own life was discovered in his home.
Sadly, for men, not as much medical care awareness exists, although they also face acute health issues. Research shows that men often die earlier than women, one reason being that they commit suicide more often than women. According to the WHO: “Suicide is a global phenomenon and occurs throughout the lifespan. Effective and evidence-based interventions can be implemented at population, sub-population and individual levels to prevent suicide and suicide attempts.
Unfortunately, according to the WHO, “suicide all too often fails to be prioritised as a major public health problem, despite an increase in research and knowledge about suicide and its prevention”. There is a stigma against those who seek help for suicidal behaviour, says the WHO. And if they do seek help, many health systems and services fail to provide timely and effective assistance.there is a “general crisis of mental healthcare; people are not receiving the medical care they need”The proposed solution is “better therapies, more effective antidepressants and greater access to treatment”.
