Gender differences in suicide rates have been shown to be significant. There are different rates of suicides and suicidal behavior between males and females (among both adults and adolescents).[2][3] While females more often have suicidal thoughts, males die by suicide more frequently.[2][4] This discrepancy is also known as the gender paradox in suicide.[2][3][5]

Globally, death by suicide occurred about 1.8 times more often among males than among females in 2008, and 1.7 times in 2015.[6][7][8] In the Western world, males die by suicide three to four times more often than do females.[6][9] This greater male frequency is increased in those over the age of 65.[10] Suicide attempts are between two and four times more frequent among females.[11][12][13] Researchers have partly attributed the difference between suicide and attempted suicide among the sexes to males using more lethal means to end their lives.[9][14][15] Other reasons, including disparities in the strength or genuineness of suicidal thoughts, have also been given.[2][16][17]
