> In every country in the world, male suicides outnumber female. The mystery is why?

It's not mysterious at all ... it's obvious. Men face stricter social judgement and less psychological support.

> Less than 5 per cent do. So mental illness is not an explanation.

What? First of all that is a lot and second of all it is no secret that a very severe depression often keeps people from contacting a doctor and being diagnosed.
