Mental health problems affect both men and women -- every one in four of
us, in fact. However, it has been widely accepted for some time that men
are much less likely to seek help from a doctor or a mental health
specialist, as they traditionally expect themselves to be competitive
and successful, tough and self-reliant and can find it difficult to
admit that they are feeling fragile and vulnerable. This book aims to
build on the current progressive movement by supporting men and those
that care about them - be that a partner, friend, family member or
colleague - by providing insight, advice and tips on what can be done at
a very practical level to make men's mental health much more positive.
