White men account for highest suicide rates in the US

White men in the US have the highest suicide rates, comprising 68% of all suicides, despite representing only a portion of the population. They are four times more likely to commit suicide than white females and nine times more likely than black Americans. However, resources and attention are disproportionately focused on other demographic groups. Statistically, women and the LGBT community have higher suicide-related search volume, yet resources are dedicated specifically to those groups. White men are less likely to seek mental health assistance, and the available resources often overlook their specific needs. This lack of support and societal expectations contribute to their feelings of failure and hopelessness.
