Re: The Suicide Thread - Trigger Warning
Also interesting how he explores the gender aspect of suicide, which is something I think is often overlooked.
As he says in the documentary, bottling things up is a classic "male trait", which is true. This is a form of emotional repression which can be devastating.
The reason why 80% of suicide victims are male is because of these things. It is much more permissible for females to open up about their emotions, and thus receive support. When you receive support, it's much easier to cope.
