Men and Mental Health
Although mental illnesses are more prevalent in women than in men, men suffering from mental illnesses are less likely to receive mental health treatment or diagnosis. Men, feeling depression and anxiety or any other mental health illness is not unusual and is nothing to feel ashamed of.
There are effective treatments for mental health disorders. Asking for help may be difficult for men, but going without treatment may only make the situation worse. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms, talk with your doctor or mental health professional.
If you or someone you know is in a crisis, get help immediately. You can call 911 or call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.
