Introduction
Cultural expectations often push men to hide emotional distress. The result is late presentation, self-medication and — in the most severe cases — suicide.
Signs to take seriously
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, irritability, sleep changes, alcohol misuse, or withdrawal from family and friends lasting more than two weeks.
Getting help
A conversation with a trusted person, a GP or a counsellor is a strong first step. Effective, confidential care exists.
Key takeaways
- Mental health is health — asking for help is a sign of strength.
- Two weeks of persistent symptoms is a signal to speak to someone.
