While mental health awareness grows, men continue suffering in silence at alarming rates. The statistics are devastating, yet society turns a blind eye to the male mental health epidemic. It's time to confront the uncomfortable truth about why we're failing half the population.
The man sitting across from me in my reading room couldn't make eye contact. Successful businessman. Nice house. Beautiful family. And he was dying inside.
"I haven't felt anything in three years," he said. "Nothing. I go through the motions. I smile when I'm supposed to. But inside? Nothing." This was last Tuesday.
But it could have been any Tuesday over the past thirty years of doing intuitive work. Because here's what nobody wants to admit: men are drowning.
And we're doing it quietly, with our mouths shut, because that's what we've been taught to do. ## The Silent Epidemic Men die by suicide at nearly four times the rate of women.
