Society has stereotypes for perfect men. Men are supposed to be strong, community pillars and immune to emotions. With all these expectations, many forget that men have feeling too. Toxic masculinity has made them believe that showing weakness is feminine. By hinding their emotions, most men have been depressed and succesptible to mental illnesses. They are segregating themselves, becoming looners and we are not noticing because everything seems right and hidden in smile and "I am okay" phrase. Not all okey's are really okay. Studies show that 75% of all su***de cases are committed by men and 85 men die every week due to depression. No wonders most of tombs in our homestead are for men. We should show them that they are important to us, and we care about them. They need a platform to express themselves fully without fear of being criticized. Giving them an opportunity to speak their minds will not only reduce cases of depression, mental illnesses and su***de, it will also give them the reason to keep going. Men should lower their egos and accept assistance and know that people around them will always be there for them. Let's bring back sanity. Reach out to your friends, treat them our you may save a soul. Taking care of each other is a gift we should all share. In Jowami, we care for your health with mental wellness being part of.
