Men's Mental Health: What Affects It and How to Improve Support

 


Surveys from around the world find that males everywhere are reluctant to talk about their mental health and are more likely to die by suicide than females.

Common mental health conditions in men include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, PTSD, and substance abuse.

A tragic confluence of low rates of diagnosed depression and high rates of suicide, along with poor engagement with mental health services, highlights the need for better support.

Research shows how distress manifests differently in men than women, and how they cope with stress differs as well.

Increasing men's mental health awareness can lead to individuals and families helping men identify the root causes of mental health issues.

Remember, it's important to prioritize mental health and seek support when needed.
