Men often face and mask mental health challenges that they may be experiencing. However, these challenges can affect daily life, such as eating, sleeping, mood, and more, in addition to the ability to go to work or school and maintain relationships with friends or family. All men, regardless of background, can experience mental health challenges, and it’s important to remember that mental health is a key part of overall health and well-being.
