Men's Mental Health

Men and mental health | Mental Health Foundation

https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/a-to-z/m/men-and-mental-health

In England, around 1 in 8 men have a common mental health problem. 1 However, men may be reluctant to seek support for their mental health or disclose mental health problems to loved ones. 2 . While many of the same difficulties are experienced by both men and women, some difficulties and influences on mental health may be especially relevant for men.

Mental health problems can affect anyone but discrimination and stigma can make people apprehensive to opening up about their experiences and seek help. Mental health in men continues to be a taboo subject, with many men suffering in silence when they experience feelings of sadness, loneliness or anxiety.

The societal gender norms that men should be “tough” and “fearless” further complicates this issue as many men feel they are not a “man” if they show any sign of weakness. Men may fail to recognise or act on warning signs and may be unwilling or unable to seek help. It’s important to recognise the signs and encourage each other to speak about how we are feeling – there’s no shame in feeling vulnerable, lost or sad; everyone experiences these emotions.
