TEDx Talk on Male Suicide
Male Suicide Rates
According to the Center For Disease Control, "Males make up 49% of the population but nearly 80% of suicides." This is a shocking number, and it's one that you don't see talked about very often. There is a big stigma around male mental health, as men are often expected to be strong and stoic and not express their emotions. Suicide increased since the turn of the centry, although it has decreased in recent years.
