June is National Men’s Health Month, the perfect time to be aware and open about a subject that many men would rather not talk about. Yet, that’s precisely why there is a silent epidemic in this country, and it’s probably impacting your family, co-workers, teachers, community members or friends. We’re talking about men’s mental health.
Men with depression often aren’t diagnosed for several reasons, including:
- Failure to recognize depression.
- Downplaying signs and symptoms.
- Reluctance to discuss depression symptoms.
- Resisting mental health treatment.
If you need free, confidential support, call or text 988 to connect to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The Lifeline is available 24/7.
