Men's Mental Health Month

June marks Men's Mental health month. So here's a post to raise awareness on mens mental health and how important it is.

A recent study shows, 50% of men suffered poor mental health. 26% have experienced suicidal thoughts and a whopping 78% of men don't want to talk about mental health due to embarrassment or stigma surrounding mental health. How shocking is this?

Often men like to escape what's bothering them. So they get absorbed taking on more work or watching more TV and sports or doing something else entirely to an unhealthy coping level which leads men to ignore their problems.

It's important to talk it out with people we as men, really trust. Make a journal on phone or written paper and to always ask for help. It's not silly and if someone laughs you off, say screw you and go to someone else.

Take your time, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Remember this too shall pass and always reach out to others.
