Do men seek mental help ?

Hello readers, hope you're doing good. How many of you have come across a depressed men ? I bet ,,,well not many , and the simplest reason behind this is due to the fear of what will the society think of them.

The findings from the study published by a professor of University of Kansas ( Brian Cole ) showed that men view the traditional depression symptoms as more severe than any other and they perceived those men with same traditional symptoms as less masculine.And this finding  helps in understanding why men do or don't seek help and the stigma behind mental health of men.

Also the professor added that men don’t always experience depression in the same ways that women do, so when they look to traditional symptoms of depression they might determine that they ‘are not depressed’ or that they ‘don’t need help.’ The study has been published in the Journal Psychology of Men & Masculinities,

So readers since now you have this information available you can help in breaking the stigma.

stay tuned for more post !

We as humans have survived from many calamities and are constantly evolving day by day.If you look back men were mostly hunters, men used to go to hunting and bring food for the rest of community so that everyone could eat ,generate energy for the body and mind and of-course survive another day.
