πŸ“Š In the U.S., men consistently die by su***de at higher rates than women β€” but the gap changes across age groups:

πŸ‘¦ Ages 10–14: Girls attempt su***de more often, but boys are more likely to die from attempts.
πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“ Ages 15–24: Young men die by su***de at rates nearly 3x higher than young women.
πŸ§‘ Ages 25–44: Su***de is among the leading causes of death for both men and women, but men’s rates remain significantly higher.
πŸ‘΄ Ages 75+: Older men face the highest su***de rates of any group in the U.S.

πŸ’‘ Understanding these differences helps us better target support and prevention efforts. No matter the age or gender, connection saves lives. πŸ’™

πŸ“ž If you or someone you know is struggling, dial 988 for free and immediate support.

Focus on the present.
