NCISH retweeted
Too simple to say men don’t seek help.
We found 2/3 of middle-aged men who died by suicide had been in contact with services in the previous 3 months. @NCISH_UK
“Men need to talk more about their feelings” is a simplistic understanding of male suicide.
NCISH retweeted
Good to see an attempt to understand why highest suicide rates are in middle-aged men.
What is driving this?
Economic factors - highest rates began after 2008 recession.
Alcohol - a policy blind spot for successive Govts.
Physical ill-health, isolation, offenders.
Family breakdown and financial crises have changed the profile of those who are most likely to take their own lives thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/a…
