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.
