The study by the Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm) found that many of the men affected did not want to bother their friends or family as a similar proportion of those who had such bad thoughts had not discussed them with anyone else.

"The results of this research, together with the latest mortality statistics, show that we urgently need to raise the nation's awareness of this hugely important and under-discussed issue," said Jane Powell, the chief executive of Calm.
The research was conducted in association with the men's bodycare brand Lynx. The release was part of Calm and Lynx's Bigger Issues campaign, which needs to raise awareness of male suicide.
