Men's mental health is an often overlooked issue, with societal pressures discouraging men from seeking help. Both in England and Wales, men face unique challenges that impact their wellbeing, and the data reveals worrying trends.

Men often struggle to seek mental health support due to societal pressures. The 'stiff upper lip' mentality discourages them from opening up, leading to devastating consequences, including high suicide rates.

The UK government’s first-ever men’s health strategy focuses on critical issues like mental health, suicide prevention, heart disease, and cancer, aiming to address the long-standing healthcare disparities men have faced and improve overall men’s health outcomes.

Men in the UK are facing a silent health crisis, with two-thirds avoiding help for mental and physical health issues. This reluctance to seek support can have severe consequences, impacting both individuals and society as a whole.

The festive season can be a particularly tough time for many men, with added pressures from family, finances, and social expectations. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or low mood, there’s help available in Wales.

Cultural expectations around masculinity like "real men don’t cry" can create invisible barriers, preventing emotional expression and leave men isolated. These stereotypes not only reinforce toxic masculinity but also take a serious toll on mental health.

Men’s mental health challenges in the workplace are an issue that many organisations overlook, yet they significantly impact employees and overall productivity. Anxiety, stress, burnout, and feelings of isolation are common, driven by long working hours, high expectations, and the pressure to appear resilient

When was the last time you spoke about how you’re really feeling? For many men, the answer is often “never.” The truth is, men are facing a mental health crisis, but it’s one that’s rarely talked about.

I recently came across an article in The Sunday Post about Duncan Cowles’ documentary, Silent Men, and it got me thinking. The documentary dives into a topic that hits close to home for many men and the the challenge of talking openly about emotions. We’ve all grown up with messages that men should stay strong, keep calm, and carry on.

As we step into November, we’re reminded of Movember, a month dedicated to raising awareness about men’s health issues, including the often-overlooked aspect of mental health. While many know Movember for its iconic moustaches, its core mission is to encourage men to speak openly about their mental health and to seek help when they need it.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in older men seeking support for mental health and loneliness, an issue that is often overlooked. Many older men have historically been reluctant to express vulnerability, due in part to societal expectations that they remain self-sufficient and emotionally resilient.

Recently, singer Liam Payne has opened up about his mental health struggles, revealing the intense challenges he faced during and after his time with One Direction. Payne candidly shared his experience with alcoholism, addiction, and suicidal thoughts, particularly highlighting how fame, isolation, and media pressure led him down a dark path.
