The male suicide rate is not about wanting to die. It’s about feeling powerless, hopeless, and helpless for way too long. To fix it, we have to make life more appealing than the peace of death. We have to give men power over their lives.

Male depression is nearly always a result of learned helplessness, but health providers treat it like female depression and try to make men feel loved instead of powerful.

Most depressed men probably don't need medication. Even then ones who do need it need more than just medication. Depressed men need purpose, a mission, and the power to accomplish that mission. Give a man those 3 things and he can crawl over broken glass with a smile.

I assume this is true about women too, but whatever. You want to mess someone up for a long, long time? Strip him of most rights, and the ability to do anything of value. Stick him in a part-time prison for years. When he gets suicidal, give him drugs and “talk therapy” instead of any way to change his life.

Eventually he’ll get to leave school. But the learned helplessness sticks around for a long damn time. Longer when everyone says this is normal and there’s something wrong with you. The bone wasn’t just set improperly, it was never set at all, and it healed in a very suboptimal position.
