  • Descrição: Methods Data on the number of male and female suicides in Denmark from 2016 to 2021 were obtained from the Danish Health Data Authority and the male–female ratio for each year was calculated. Discussion This analysis establishes that the male–female ratio in the number of suicides in Denmark has plateaued at 2.7. [...]it seems that women have benefitted relatively more than men from the public health initiatives succeeding in reducing the number of suicides in Denmark over the past four decades, which have included the increasing capacity to treat mental disorder, establishing suicide prevention centres, and restricting access to lethal means (Nordentoft, 2007). According to the GMDRS and the MDRS-22, the male depression phenotype is characterised by symptoms such as irritability, restlessness, lowered stress threshold, low impulse control, substance abuse, and aggressive/acting-out behaviour, which differ from those of “classical” depression as defined by the major diagnostic systems, but may well be equally disabling and potentially even more risky with regard to suicide.
