Suicide is the biggest killer of men between 20 and 49
Suicide
is the biggest killer of men
between 20 and 49,
eclipsing road accidents, cancer and coronary heart disease.
It is also
predominantly a male disorder.
Of the
5,981 suicides in 2012,
an astonishing
4,590 (76%) were men.
And yet while Britain has high-profile campaigns on,
say, testicular cancer or driving safely,
the biggest killer of men under 50 is not
getting the attention it deserves.
