1. Could be, I don't know the numbers, what about alcohol as self harm/medication?

2. Could be, I don't know the numbers but it sounds reasonable

3. Could be, then we should see that the numbers of suicidal attempts were as high for women in the same age.

4. Should be the same for women and men right?

I don't think it is. Culturally a man who's going for therapy is much more stigmatized than a woman doing so.


So the next question is, if this is true, why is that? Seems strange.


3. The number of reported suicidal attempts are actually higher for women.


Where did you find that information?


I already linked below, I didn't want to repeat it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide
