Health | Does gender play a role in our wellbeing?

Mental wellbeing 

We know that gender differences are prevalent in common mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. These disorders affect one in three people worldwide and many more women are diagnosed than men. 

However, we also know that three in four suicides are by men. It is shocking that suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 35. Men are also three times more likely than women to become alcohol dependent and are more likely to use and die from illegal drugs (The Men’s Forum.)
