When was the last time you asked a man how he was feeling, and truly listened to his answer? Men are often perceived as pillars of strength, but the truth is they are just as prone to emotional and mental health challenges as anyone else.
Men may avoid seeking help, riddled by the burden of societal norms and stigmas. Mental health issues such as anxiety, stress or depression affect everyone, but men may express or manifest it differently.
It’s time to start a conversation and break the stigma around men’s mental health struggles.
Men’s mental health struggle
From a young age, many men are made to believe that showing vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Phrases like “Man up,” “Boys don’t cry,” or “Be a man” have created a culture where men suppress their feelings and push through, no matter the cost. This silence can have severe consequences.
Mental health challenges
Workplace stress
Many men link their self-worth to their careers and their ability to provide for their families. The pressure to succeed and avoid failure can lead to stress and burnout.
