Three young men commit suicide every day in the United Kingdom, according to the latest figures, making suicide the number one cause of death among young men in Britain.
More young men die every day as a result of suicide than road accidents, HIV and violent assault combined, said the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
The rate rose significantly in 2011, with a total of 6,045 people taking their own lives, of whom 4,552 were men.
The highest rate was in the male age bracket 30 to 44 (23.5 deaths per 100,000 people in 2011), with the financial crisis believed to have played a part in many of these deaths.
According to the data, the suicide rate in males aged 45 to 59 also increased significantly, reaching 22.2 deaths per 100,000 people. Full story...
