Mental Health Awareness

Men's mental health is a serious issue often complicated by societal pressures, like toxic masculinity, which discourage men from expressing emotions and seeking help. This stigma can lead to higher rates of substance abuse, violence, and suicide, with men being significantly less likely to access mental health support services. Common mental health issues for men include depression and anxiety, and symptoms can manifest as irritability, changes in appetite, and loss of interest in activities. Addressing these challenges requires breaking down stigma through education and fostering environments where men feel safe to prioritize their emotional well-being and seek the necessary support.  call NHS 111 or get help from NHS 111 online
