Men Need Love Too

June is recognized as Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. In this episode, Dr. Niesha celebrates men for showing up and highlights the importance of embracing emotions and prioritizing mental well-being. The episode brings attention to the unique mental health challenges that men face, aiming to reduce the stigma that often prevents them from seeking help. It encourages open conversations about emotions, stress, depression, anxiety, and suicide, while promoting better access to resources and support systems.

Despite facing emotional struggles, men are statistically less likely than women to seek help due to societal stigma and traditional views of masculinity that discourage vulnerability. This has contributed to significantly higher suicide rates among men in many parts of the world. Dr. Niesha emphasizes the need to normalize therapy and mental health care.
