The Men Don't Talk Project

 

Men are far less likely to seek medical support for a mental health problem than women, new figures reveal.

 

A survey commissioned by the Mental Health Foundation found that not only are men far less likely than women to seek professional support, they are also less likely to disclose a mental health problem to friends and family.

 

The YouGov survey, the largest of its kind, polling more than 2,500 people who have had mental health problems, showed 28% of men admitted that they had not sought medical help, compared with 19% of women.

 

The survey found that a third of women, compared with a quarter of men, had told friends or family about their mental health problem within a month of it arising. More than a third of men, compared with a quarter of women, either waited more than two years or chose never to tell friends or family about their problem.

 

Men have also the highest rates of suicide, a staggering 84 per week on average, that's 12 a day, or 1 every 2 hours.

​

In the UK every week around 84 men take their own lives, us guys here think that is pretty poor especially as many deaths could of been avoided by "Just Talking".
