There is. A number - or those I have actively followed anyway - seem to have had pre-existing mental health issues, exacerbated no doubt by the last year of Covid.

I agree, it seems as though there's a mass non-coping experience going on, for obvious reasons, but it feels as though it's affecting boys and men far more than women and girls. Not a scientific analysis obviously, but based on the missing incidents that I see, that's my impression.

Does anyone who's been here longer than me know if missing episodes have always had a gender bias? Is it entirely new, newly exacerbated, or actually not as true as it seems?

If it were the other way round, I might think there was a reporting bias because of a perception that women who are in the wind are more vulnerable and need finding fast. I really don't think there would be a bias towards reporting missing men, so I do think it must be a real issue.

there are only men going missing on that page. quite often its a case of suicide from combat stress, its awful to watch unfold
