Let’s Talk About It: Men’s Mental Health and Ending the Stigma

Mental health concerns are extremely common, yet the stigma remains deeply rooted among men. This stigma often causes men to suppress their emotions, wants, and needs for fear of being perceived as weak or less-than. It's common for men to prioritize others over themselves, which can lead to feelings of emptiness, isolation, exhaustion, and irritability. Bottling up emotions can result in chronic health issues and divert energy away from what truly matters.

Depression, anxiety, substance use, mood disorders, and ADHD are among the leading mental health disorders affecting men. Symptoms often manifest differently in men, such as irritability, withdrawal, isolation, and anger. These symptoms are frequently downplayed due to social norms or personal beliefs.

Men are less likely to seek care on their own, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Men are encouraged to seek the same support that is available to everyone.
