Although mental illnesses are more prevalent in women than in men, men suffering from mental illnesses are less likely to receive mental health treatment or diagnosis. There are many reasons for this and one of them is the pressure men face to “man up” or “tough it out.” The stigma of men speaking out is that it is seen as a form of weakness or not “manly.”
It’s time to stop the stigma. No one should suffer in silence.
