Do u think male suicide isnt as high as people say it is? Most have cars,jobs and kids. Is male suicide fake news?

Many people in snciety suffer but i see men do so much better with their lives. I hardly see depressed men and most live it up with harlots and booze. Is high male suicide part of fake news or is it real?
