Link identified between lower IQ scores and attempted suicide in men

The men in Sweden with the higher IQs that attempted suicide over those 24 years weren't admitted to the hospital because they weren't so dumb as to screw up the knot on the damn noose.

Men with lower IQs fail at failing.

Hmm, this finding I find (ha) rather odd, as I have found an inverse correlation between intelligence and happiness.

My brother killed himself. He'd have never made their list cause he got it right, it wasn't an attempt it was a success. He had an IQ of 120...

By far the most common method used was poisoning, for example taking an overdose of medication.

I was taught in psychology that men prefer more direct methods and that poison was a female method, I am now wondering if that was a stereotype passed off as fact.

Sweden is such a fucked up, controlled society I can't see any study there having any bearing on what occurs elsewhere.

Makes sense. Every time I see a suicide, I tend to think, "Dumb SOB killed himself."
