Horizon programme 're male suicide

[frustratedashell]

Anyone watching this? It's very interesting. I'm a depression sufferer, but female. Both my adult children have mental health issues. My daughter has bi polar.

It’s heart wrenching. A close friend of mine killed herself. A couple of male friends have also come to me when they have felt suicidal and I worry about them even now I think they are feeling ‘better’.

How sad that almost all the men we know, the thing most likely to kill them - is themselves :( x

I agree Hannah. I worry about my son, he's 29 and has depression. He has only recently gone to the docs after years of pleading, begging and quite frankly emotional blackmail at times, cos I was so desperate!

Its very sad. I didn't realise suicide was the highest cause of death in males under 40, very scary. My father committed suicide after suffering depression for years and was sectioned at the time of his death

Yes it's very sad blessed. I didn't realise that either. Sorry to hear about your dad

My dad committed suicide also, when he was 63, 5 years ago. Still have no idea why
