"It is believed that in the UK, 1 in 8 men have a common mental health problem, such as depression and anxiety - a 1.5% increase from previous years (FYI; Men aged 40 to 49 have the highest suicide rates in the UK). Men report lower levels of life satisfaction than women, according to the Government's national well-being survey, and men are less likely to access psychological therapies due to having more negative views regarding depression and anxiety; Men are more likely to  be embarrassed and self-stigmatisation prevent men from seeking help - Younger men tend to face more stigma about depression and suicide. Some common symptoms of mental disorder in men include:

Anger, irritability, aggressiveness -

Changes in mood, energy level, or appetite -

Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much -

Difficulty concentrating, feeling restless, or on edge -

Increased worry or feeling stressed -
