In Mental Health for Men: Common Problems Practical Solutions, the author examines the key topics of men's mental health, including difficult issues not often addressed because of the stigma of talking about mental health, especially for men. Statistically 1 in 5 adults will experience a mental health issue during their lifetime ? and this includes men. Like it or not, men are not immune from mental health issues, yet our society has a cultural bias against speaking about and dealing with this topic. Ignorance is not bliss, as it can lead to misery or even tragedy. As a society, we have a lot of work to do around this issue. We use unnecessary illness labels and wonder why there is stigma. We talk of the need for mental health literacy, yet we use mystifying language. We complain about a lack of male help-seeking, yet we don't make help available in a way that respects male experience or appreciates that they are not women. Mental Health for Men seeks to demystify and remove the stigma around mental health, for men in particular.
