>>4890981Can you show me a source for that? I honestly have never seen that as a chief factor on the topic.
articles such as this one :
http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2011/08/mental-illness.aspxSeem to say that depression is more common in women :
The authors cited previous research that found women suffer more than men from depression, because “women ruminate more frequently than men, focusing repetitively on their negative emotions and problems rather than engaging in more active problem solving.”
Which makes sense to me.
Not calling BS on you, I'm not sure you are wrong. However, I do think the theory that men are typically more successful at suicide seems awfully logical.
This page :
https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/statistics/mental-health-statistics-men-and-womencites " In England, women are more likely than men to have a common mental health problem1 and are almost twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety disorders."
Again, not calling BS. But sometimes people are better at blustering a point than actually citing studies etc.
For all I know your statement that men are more likely to develop emotional/psychological problems - just not gulping that yet.
