How to support men around you with their mental health

Stress, anxiety and depression can affect everyone regardless of gender. But there’s no denying that for men, poor mental health is more likely to lead to tragedy

We know that you’re more likely to experience depression if you have a close family member who has had depression in the past. However, the most significant factors in poor mental health will be life events in childhood or adulthood, such as:

• Abuse or neglect

• Physical or sexual assault

• Loss of a loved one

• Unemployment

• Ending a relationship
