Male Suicide: Beyond Mental Health

Male suicide is often misunderstood as solely a mental health issue, but it is primarily influenced by external factors. Men facing issues such as job loss, financial struggles, relationship breakdowns, and loss of access to children are at a higher risk of suicide. The misconception that male suicide is solely related to mental health perpetuates the narrative that toxic masculinity is the primary cause. However, the root causes are more complex and involve systemic and societal factors. It is crucial to address and support men in their real-life challenges rather than simplifying the issue as a mental health problem.
