Today is International Men’s Day and we would like to emphasize the issues of men, especially the overlooked issue of men’s mental health. Here are few stats of mental health disorders in men in India: Mental disorder prevalence: 14.2% of men in India have a mental disorder Depression: 2.7% of men in India have a depressive disorder Anxiety disorder: 2.7% of men in India have an anxiety disorder Suicide: In 2021, there were 72.5 times more male suicide victims than female suicide victims in India. Even Though there exists such a staggering number of mental disorders existing for Men, they find it difficult to discuss mental health with their loved one. The space of toxic masculinity needs to be broken, which can help in inviting a space where men can discuss their issues openly. . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthsupport #InternationalMenDay
