The audio played yesterday was, imo, audio of Johnny Depp at a depressed low. AH convinced him to break TRO to record, again, secretly. She begged him to cuddle in bed after telling the world she feared for her life.
So, male victims of emotional abuse+ suicide risk: a thread.

First, Depp faced and allowed the general public to hear that audio, which was brave. He doesn't have to be here. He didn't have to sue AH, esp with knowledge this would be public, that he would be eviscerated on stand. He has done this to clear his name. #JohnnyDeppIsInnocent

Men are and have been the highest risk group for suicide. Women may make more attempts by some studies, but men complete the act more frequently. The amount of men we lose to suicide is epidemic, but little is done for prevention, screening or aid.

Many studies show emotional, psychological and financial abuse carry a higher risk of suicide and suicidal idealation for victims than physical abuse.
What emotional abuse can look like for male victims of a female abuser:

Commonly noted self-destructive and maladaptive responses noted in suicide attempt survivors:

Anyone can see AH did this to Johnny Depp; and his behaviors match the maladaptive behaviors. As for Depp, I can't say if he intended to, but he's brought overlooked male victims of dv to national news, potentially saving many. I hope he's OK today.
