S9E4 - A Crisis Among Men

Why Is Men's Mental Health Month Ignored?
There are various factors that may contribute to the perception of neglect or lesser attention towards men’s mental health specifically which are listed below:

Societal expectations: Traditional gender roles often place an emphasis on men being strong, stoic, and self-reliant, which can discourage men from seeking help or expressing their emotions. This societal expectation may contribute to a lack of awareness or conversation around men’s mental health issues.
Stigma surrounding mental health: Mental health issues, in general, have historically carried a significant stigma, and this can affect men as well. Men may face additional challenges due to societal norms that discourage them from seeking help or expressing vulnerability. The stigma surrounding mental health can deter men from seeking support or discussing their struggles openly.
Limited awareness and resources: There may be a lack of awareness or understanding regarding the specific mental health challenges that men face. This could result in limited resources, services, and support networks available specifically for men’s mental health. Insufficient resources can contribute to the perception that men’s mental health is being overlooked.
