Why more men than women commit suicide

According to KNBS, of the 421 suicide cases reported in 2017, 330 were men

More men than women are dying from suicide because they use violent methods to carry out the act.

Lukoye Atwoli, an associate professor at Moi University’s School of Medicine and a leading psychiatrist, says even though women are three to four times likely to attempt suicide compared to men, it is men who are more likely to go through with it.
