Nothing about this in the news.
But hey pride is where it is at SMH
June is Men's Health Month, and within that, there's a growing focus on Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, according to some sources. This period is dedicated to raising awareness about men's mental health challenges, promoting open conversations, and encouraging men to seek support when needed.
If you get up twice ,three times a night to pee , dribble a bit , can’t sport a woodie , you may want to look into male kegels. The urospot clinics do good work with this using magnetic field science .

I don’t like to compare one area of importance over another. Men’s mental health and overall health doesn’t get the same exposure as Pride month for sure.
To address men’s mental health, one of the main reasons I ride a motorcycle. In general men like things. We can spend hours looking at objects with wheels and engines and envision how they work, what makes them cool and enjoy riding or driving them.
Men are not much for talking about their feelings. We deal with those things by doing other things to create new and happy feelings. We don’t give it much thought about the wake left from not dealing with those other feelings/thoughts. Or we choose to bury them by pursuing fun activities.
Sometimes the bad stuff creeps in and bites you when you least expect it. Stress, heart attack, suicide etc.
Encouraging good habits like exercise and talking to a professional for your physical and mental health is a great step in improving your life. You are never too old to learn something new.

I've watched a few men die knowing fair well that their lifestyle or lack of seeking treatment was quickly killing them.
I say to each his own. If you want to live to 100, eat well exercise, ditch the booze, smokes and motorcycles. All high risks to your hhealth.
Myself, I'm one day at a time, i've made some course corrections - mainly dialing back behaviours from full-on-excessive to moderate.
Fortunately I've never had mental health issues(so far), but I know a few guys that have. Younger men seem to be more up front about dealing with mental health -- Im guessing it's a bit less stigmatized than it was for GenX and older fellers (despite being statistically the mossed stressed generation in the workforce. I don't recall a single instance of one of my GenX or Boomer employees requesting 'stress leave' or mental health days).
I figure if you're suffering - at least seek treatment. You don't have to advertise your situation, but it's in your best interest to get help.
Sometimes it’s easier on people around you if they know you have something going on . They may be more patient, not try to hand you a drink you don’t want ( need) or be more willing to be flexible when dealing with you . The era of manly men doing only manly man stuff is going away . It’s ok to be not ok .
I kind of agree with that. I'm no expert, but I have observed generational differences. Previous generations also faced hardships, perhaps different than the current generation but they were still there.
Perhaps some 'manliness' is good thing -- particularly if it encourages people to make corrections they know they need to make (less social media, more face to face social interaction, moderate substance usage etc) rather than depending or seeking help on others to deal with the obvious.
Heightened awareness and less stigma makes it easier to get help and support -- but it also makes it easier to abuse and exchange personal responsibility for a mental health crutch. I know a few people that lack that in their character and take a lot of stress time.
I' not suggesting everyone should suck it up and suffer - if you need help - get help.
