Who are more suicidal Men or Women?

OH MY GOD!!! What a morbid thought. 

Why not focus on which sex makes more money on Fusioncash and packs it of to the bank so they can go enjoy life!

i guess when you are closer to death door it is morbid ...youth is so grand...rofl

I remember reading somewhere that women are more likely to try suicide, but that men are the most successful at completing their goal.

I'm retired from the mental health field...and though I don't know any recent statistics,,,my own personal thought is that women threaten suicide, attempt suicide more often than men...(no offense ladies, but I feel it's for the attention more often than men) and men don't talk about it as much,,,they succeed more in actually carrying out a plan.  Also, men are viewed as the "stronger" sex, so even if they do verbalize a thought, most people don't believe they would actually carry it out....so men get less of a reaction from others. 

But..Bottom line...suicide in both men and women is a very serious issue...take any and all comments, threats, etc. as true intent...and take action on their behalf....because it's no fun living with the fact that someone you  know actually took their own life.

Just my opinion. 

lol .....retired .....im keeping my eye out for you ....
