Psychological treatment is critical in reducing suicide and gender statistics shows a clear bias against men when it come to medical care. That more women then men get medical help for psychological ailment is a systemic issue, and more equality would lower suicide rates for men.

In either case, there is nothing wrong with wanting attention, especially in a world where there are an awful lot of things telling you that you're inadequate, imperfect, less than other people.

Yes there is. It leads to narcissism and unwarranted feelings of self-importance.

If you think that modern social media isn't harming society by funneling straight to people's egos, thus causing the "in a world" situation we're in in the first place, then there's no point trying to debate anything else with you.

First thing you need to do for a productive debate is to make sure you're talking about the same thing.

The differences in male and female suicide rates (and methods) is not a product of the social media age; it goes back at least decades.

"wanting attention" does not define narcissism, and a cry for help in the form of a suicide attempt is not a demand to be the center of attention. Yes, it can be, and suicide among people with narcissistic personality disorder is a problem too. But there are also a lot of people who feel isolated, ignored, lost who look for any way to reach out. Dismissing those as "just wanting attention" serves no one.
