Yes that's the point I had raised with ebingo in his other article: that it's strange that women suffer from depression in about double the numbers as men do, but men, in all cultures, die by suicide 4 to 5 times more often. Either depression is not very much associated with suicide, or men just don't report their depression or, like ebingo proposed, their depression is atypical and/or not recognized as such, or underdiagnosed like the article you linked to says, or a number of other explanations of the same general kind.

My own feeling, based on my experience with males and females and coupled with everything I know from the literature, is that males actually suffer much more than women do, by and large (of course, what else would you expect from me!)
