In recognition of social wellness month, Gloria and I were asked to speak on the topic for the residents of The Preserve at Gateway - 55+ Active Adult Apartments. We had a wonderful conversation providing information related to social wellness topics, while also gaining a better perspective of the challenges faced by our seniors. Thank you so much for having us out! For anyone 55+ looking for a beautiful community to retire, be sure to check out the Preserve at Gateway!

June is PTSD awareness month. It is important to know that PTSD can affect anyone and is more common than many people realize. It doesn’t always appear right away, and symptoms can show up long after the trauma. PTSD changes how the brain processes fear and stress, and kids can experience it too—often with different symptoms than adults. Peer support can be life-saving, offering connection and hope to those who are struggling.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, however men’s mental health is often overlooked. Men are less likely to seek support for emotional struggles, which can lead to undiagnosed mental health conditions. This can present in mood changes and increased risk-taking behaviors that are often misunderstood or ignored. Untreated mental health issues don’t just affect the mind- they can also lead to serious physical health problems. Raising awareness and breaking the stigma around men’s mental health issues is essential to encourage early intervention and support.

We have 2 major awareness months in June: Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and PTSD Awareness Month, 2 both closely connected to each other as men have some of the highest rates of post-traumatic stress disorder.

For men, mental health in general is stigmatized, but societal influences are improving due to awareness. Some statistics related to men's mental health according to the recent article below:
1. Nearly 1 and 5 men live with a mental health condition.
2. 6.2 % of men had a major depressive episode in the past year.
3. Men are nearly twice as likely as women to be diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
4. Men develop a substance use disorder at 1.5 to 2.3 times the rate of women.
5. Though fewer men are diagnosed with depression, they’re more than twice as likely to die by su***de.

Men tend to work in jobs that cause frequent exposure to the traumatic events that often lead to PTSD. Most of the general public associates PTSD with combat veterans, a job widely held by men, but PTSD is not exclusive to men though. public and private sectors now have a better understanding of the causes related to PTSD for people across all bio-psycho-social factors. Read more about PTSD on the Department for Veterans Affairs below.
