Abstract		An average Slovene general practitioner sees at least fifteen cases of suicide, three quarters of which occur among men. Male health is determined by their genetic characteristics and lifestyle. There are two important male lifestyle characteristics: the model of seeking medical help and the risky behaviour model. We used to label male lifestyle and habits in negative term. The family physician is trained in the basic professional principles, in accordance with his/her competence (knowledge, skills, attitude). The main obstacle in competence enforcement is the fact that working men rarely seek medical advice, and with great difficulty. Even when they do, they tend to complain only about physical signs. National preventative measures in the field of men's health are primarily oriented towards specific areas of physical health. Therefore, men at a high risk of suicide usually remain unnoticed. It is also too early for an idea of establishing a men's clinic as is the case in women's health care. Early signs of depressive illness are frequently overlooked in general practice, particularly in men. Slovenia has no preventative program for high-risk male population or even for those who are the most endangered.
Summary		Slovenski zdravnik se v svoji zdravniški praksi sreča z najmanj petnajstimi primeri samomora, od tega več kot tri četrtine pri moških. Na zdravstveno stanje moških vplivajo njihove genetske značilnosti in značilnosti njihovega življenjskega sloga; pri slednjem predvsem način iskanja zdravstvene pomoči in tvegan način življenja. Življenjskim navadam moških družba rada da negativni vrednostni predznak. Zdravnik specialist družinske medicine je usposobljen v temeljnih načelih stroke in deluje v skladu s svojimi sposobnostmi (znanji, veščinami in stališči). Glavna ovira pri uveljavljanju teh znanj in veščin je v dejstvu, da delovno aktivni moški zelo redko iščejo zdravniško pomoč, če pa jo že, izražajo le telesno simptomatiko. Ukrepi s strani države so pri populaciji moških s tveganim načinom življenja usmerjeni v specifične organske sisteme. Moški, ki imajo povečano tveganje za samomor, ostajajo spregledana populacija. Ideja o posebnih dispanzerjih za moške je drzna ali pa sploh nesprejemljiva. Zdravniki družinske medicine pogosto spregledamo zgodnje znake depresije, zlasti pri moških. Država nima ustreznega preventivnega programa za najbolj ogroženo skupino bolnikov.
