Woman and suicide

Woman attempt suicide more often than men. Men complete suicide more often than women. One of the cause of this difference is that the method used more often by men is more lethal.

Women predominantly use drugs to overdose in an attempt to commit suicide and often do not know what a lethal dosage would be.

Men tend to use fire arms which obviously would be less likely to fail at an attempt.

As always there are many other factors to consider and each individual is unique.

If you are aware of these stats it could help you be better informed and to be aware of a potentially lethal situation.
