Mental health components include our psychological, emotional and social wellness. It is both our mood and behaviour as well as how we think. Mental health is affected by our brain chemistry, genetics, and life experiences.
For men it includes common concerns including levels of stress, depression, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and anxiety. Our mental health can significantly affect our relationships, mood, energy levels and ability to cope and adapt to the complexities and messiness of life. Included in this is the danger of drug and alcohol use disorders. Also, men comprise 75% of all suicides and 1 in 4 of these are men over the age of 60.

What it is: Mental health and addiction can be especially problematic for men. Men struggling with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and/or alcohol and drug use can experience a greatly diminished quality of life.
Why it is important: Helping men manage their mental health and addictions can improve both the quality and quantity of their lives and improve the lives of their family. Men, husbands, fathers, brothers and sons matter. Drug and alcohol abuse disorders are much more prevalent in men so iis their likelihood of successful suicide attempts. We must take this seriously. We want to help in their recovery. Men with a poor response to antidepressants often are found to have low testosterone levels. Correcting for this can sometimes help depression. For men with a history of concussions the impact on their hormone levels, especially testosterone, can be profound and debilitating. Like all things in medicine, if you don’t search for it you will never find it.
