According to
Movember.com, on average 87 men commit suicide each day in the USA, men aged
40-59 are at the highest risk, and 1 in 4 adults in the US experience a mental
health problem in a given year.
Askmen.com
reports that at least 6 million US men suffer from depression each year. Depression in women is even larger then men,
but men are four times more likely to commit suicide. Conclusion, women are better at taking take
of them selves.
Wikipedia reports
that the three main reason men do not seek help are due fear, denial, and
embarrassment. Result, men are either silently
suffering or dying too young.
These staggering
numbers demands a change in how we interact in our community. Too many families are suffering due to the
unhappiness of men, and too many men are dying too young. Let’s change our view of mental health and
share with everyone that in fact it is the strong, brave, and masculine men who
seek to grow.
“LET’S TALK IT
OUT, NOT TOUGH IT OUT!”
