Answer 1

it is more women obviously

Answer 2

My stand to the suicide rates in the Philippines :

• The thought of suicide most often occurs when a person feels that they have run out of solutions to problems that seem inescapable, intolerably painful, and never-ending. But ending own life is not the solution.
• People under serious stress should talk about their problems to someone close to them. I believe that talking about the problem itself makes the stigma a little bit less.

Is it more on men or women?

• According to the report of W.H.O. number of female mortality rates by suicide is more than that of males.

The factors that affect suicide:

• Lack of access to mental health care for young Filipinos, particularly in remote areas, is deadly. Attempted youth suicides and deaths have risen sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic, with an increase in suicide-related calls to mental health centers across the country.
• It is critical to combat social stigma around seeking mental health support and to provide that support, such as suicide prevention programs.
