Men get left out, right?
Did you know? In England, around one in eight men has a common mental health problem such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Not just that but:
u00a0
- Three times as many men as women die byu00a0suicide.
- Men aged 40-49 have the highest suicide rates in the UK.
- Men report lower levels of life satisfaction than women according to the Governmentu2019s national wellbeing survey.
- Men are less likely to accessu00a0psychological therapiesu00a0than women: only 36% of referrals to NHS talking therapies are for men.
- Men are also far more likely than women to go missing, sleep rough, become dependent onu00a0alcoholu00a0and useu00a0drugsu00a0frequently.
We at Geeza ask ourselves everyday why this is… We feel that we have a responsibility to try and change these shocking statistics through the work we do in the community and for mental health in general.
