These are the top of the iceberg and look only at the symptom, not the disease. Men, today’s as good a day as any to take a step to get any help you might need. Reach out to a loved one or a professional, there are people that love and care about you and want the best for you.
Men, just like women, are disproportionately affected by numerous issues in our society, and “man up” won’t solve any of them. Men, reach out to someone, to each other. Start a dialogue today. #InternationalMensDay
