    Men’s mental health refers to the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of boys and men.

    Globally, men are less likely than women to seek help for mental health conditions, according to the World Health Organization.

    Depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and suicide are major concerns, with men accounting for nearly 58 per cent of global suicide deaths.

    Social norms that discourage emotional expression, stigma, and limited access to care contribute to underdiagnosis.

    Early support, open conversations, healthy coping strategies, and access to professional help can significantly improve outcomes and reduce preventable deaths.
