Common Mental Health Issues Among Men
-
Depression: Men may experience depression differently from women, often displaying more irritability and anger. Recognising the signs of depression in men is crucial for early intervention and recovery.
-
Anxiety: Although anxiety affects both genders, men may be less likely to seek professional help, leading to higher rates of untreated anxiety.
-
Suicide: Men are more likely to die by suicide than women. This alarming statistic emphasises the importance of destigmatising mental health issues and promoting accessible resources.
-
Substance Abuse: Substance abuse can sometimes be a coping mechanism for untreated mental health problems among men. Recogniing this link is vital in providing effective support and treatment.
Traditional thoughts of masculinity may pressure men to suppress emotions, leading to emotional repression and reluctance to seek help. We must redefine masculinity to include emotional expression and emphasise the strength in vulnerability.
