Studies have shown that perceptions of economic insecurity and limited opportunities contribute to the increased rates of suicide among African American men. This may also lead to feelings of hopelessness and a lack of control over their lives, which can contribute to suicidal ideation. Other factors such as stigma related to mental health and seeking help, and lack of access to mental health services, may also play a role.
