Overview

There is no getting away from the fact that a significant number of men will experience mental health difficulties. For any man for whom this is true, ignorance is not bliss, it can lead to misery or even tragedy. But we have a lot of work to do as a society 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. This book deals simply with key topics of men's mental health, without ducking and weaving to avoid difficult issues.
