Let’s Talk! Mental Health in Men…
Although mental illnesses are more prevalent in women than men, roughly 1 in 10 men experience some form of a mental health disorder, but less than half seeks treatment.
There is a stigma around mental health in men. Men are more likely to feel judged, misunderstood and often misdiagnosed.
Mental health is a core component of overall wellness, yet is routinely overlooked in men.
Fast Facts-
•Men are more likely to suffer in silence
•Men experience a higher rate of su***de.
•Men are more likely to suffer from alcohol abuse/use.
•6 out 10 men experience at least one traumatic event in their lives causing PTSD.
•49% of men feel more depressed than they admit to the people in their life.
