Introduction
Mental disorder is known to constitute 13% of the global burden. Depression is expected to be one of the largest contributors impacting the global economy.  It is one of the non-communicable diseases that have accelerated the suicide rates in the different parts of the world. According to WHO, in one of their health surveys, reveals that 1 in every 20 individuals are reported to have depression. And in most cases, these depressions start in the younger age (Who.int, 2012). The survey further reveals that depression impact on an individual’s ability to function and are often found to recur even after treatments. In the current study, the extent at which depression led suicide within the Australian population in between the age of 40 to 44 years will be explored. 
The study will highlight the extent the middle-aged Australian is suffering from depression and their consequences. Further, the study will include an emphasis on the various availability of treatments and strategies that can be adopted for the prevention of depression led suicide among the middle-aged men in Australia (Who.int, 2012). The purpose of the study is also to explore the different interventions that can be adopted by the health care institutes so that they can assist the middle-aged population in Australia to overcome depression helping in the promotion of positive mental health. 
Understanding depression in the chosen population
In a survey that has been carried out by WHO in 2013 revealed that of all the countries that have been recorded of the high rate of male suicide due to depression, Australia occupies a position at 36th. This highlights that the rate of male suicide is 16.8% in Australia. The data collected from the Australian Bureaus of Statistics had been essential for the researchers in monitoring the trends of mortality and depression led suicide among the middle-aged men population of Australia. With the increase in the rate of depression, the death statistics in Australia have also been accelerated. In one of the studies that have been carried out by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2012, most of the Australian males are observed. Most of the depression led death were observed to be self-inflicted injuries (Who.int, 2012). The survey highlights that around 6.5% death that was caused due to avoidable condition, 8.0% of the deaths were caused by the male population in Australia. This indicates that depression occupies the third position causing death among the Australian after lung cancer and Ischemic heart disease.  Especially in between the age groups of 44 years, around 29.5% of the males are observed to commit suicide due to depression (Who.int, 2012). 
There is various determinant that has contributed to the depression of the male population in Australia. These determinants include biological, psychological, personality, familial, cognitive, psychiatric factors that resulted in the depression. According to Currier, Spittal, Patton and Pirkis, (2016), serotonin in men contributes there lack of ability to fluctuate according to the situation like females. In addition,
