International Men's Day
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MENS HEALTH DAY!
Today, people all over the world are using this day to raise awareness for mental health in males.
Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 40. 42% of men have contemplated suicide in their life, and although women are more likely to attempt suicide, women are more likely to succeed.
A few days ago, an old friend from school killed himself. This makes the 5th person I knew to have done that. All male, all under 25.
Guys: if you're feeling down or depressed then seek help. It won't make you weak.
Girls: talk to your guy friends or relatives today, ask them if here ok and genuinely listen
Spread the word, and let's destigmatize mental health.
