Have they ruled out “suicidal men 5x more likely to become divorced”? I’m skeptical that they have because I can’t think of how they would, and the other direction seems quite plausible too.

The paper being referenced was a systematic review and meta-analysis rather than new data. Given the inherent methodological and population differences between original studies , I doubt that much could be said about causality; it’s pretty conclusively an association though. And that’s probably enough basis on which to be vigilant and target support if you’re a therapist. But, yes, I suspect it’s more complicated than A->B. It was in my own case that nearly could have been a subject of this study.

Personally, my responsibility to my family has been one of, if not the primary reason I'm able to type this out.
Many people will read happiness values out of suicide stats, not accounting for stubborn bastards like me who just keep plodding forward out of duty.

We dug ourselves into the hole of ever increasing progress, recruitment based of how much stress you can handle and we'll be worse for it as a civilisation.
