Around 76% of people who commit suicide are men.
That is a sobering fact!
Whilst there is less of a stigma associated with men seeing help for mental health issues, men in general seek help at a slower rate that women do.
Studies have shown that:
Men, in general, are solution focussed. If they have a problem, they try and figure it out in their head before getting help.
Women think more emotionally, what I mean is, that a woman in general, will think about how something or someone makes her feel.
Focussing on feelings can make you feel uncomfortable.
Focussing on a solution or a number of solutions gets you to try and figure out the problem and you spend time and energy on finding that solution.
We are all limited by our own abilities.
