Men are significantly less likely than women to seek treatment for mental health issues. According to Mental Health America, social norms and reluctance to discuss feelings contribute to this. A National Health Interview Survey found only 1 in 3 men took medication for depression or anxiety, and just 1 in 4 spoke to a mental health professional. The World Health Organization reports over 264 million people suffer from depression globally, with men less likely to seek help. In the U.S., men are nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than women, underscoring the crisis in men's mental health.
