Men & Mental Health
Mental health does not discriminate, it affects people of all ages, genders and ethnicities. In men, the prevalence of mental illness is lower than in women, but men are less likely to seek mental health treatment. Men are 3.88 times more likely to die from suicide than women. Recognizing the signs that you or a loved one is struggling with mental illness is the first step toward getting treatment. The sooner treatment is received, the more effective it can be. Here are ways to recognize the signs, stop the stigma, and learn coping skills to improve your mental health.
