The mental health of men is not taken seriously enough by men. Mental health symptoms in men can include:
- anger and aggressiveness
- irritability
- frustration
- alcohol or substance misuse
- trouble concentrating
- persistent worrying
- high-risk activities
- behavior that gets in the way of daily life
- thoughts of suicide
Some mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression, can also have physical symptoms that people might ignore. These include:
- changes in appetite and energy
- new aches and pains
- digestive issues
- trouble sleeping
- sleeping more than usual
Between the sexes, men are almost 4x more likely to die by suicide. Speak up, take care of yourself, and support other men.
