Introducing ShameOver: A Conversation About Men's Mental Health<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

In our culture, men<\/a> are expected to be “strong” or “tough.” We regard the expression of feelings as a weakness. Look no further than the Webster’s Dictionary definition of “man<\/a>,” which uses this as an exemplary sentence<\/a>: “Don’t cry, little boy<\/a>: be a man<\/a>!” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Given this climate, it’s no surprise that when it comes to mental illness — and health issues tied to our emotions — men<\/a> are encouraged to remain stoic, to their great detriment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

More than 6 million men in America suffer from depression each year<\/a>, a condition that’s very manageable with the right kind of treatment. Yet studies continually show that men<\/a> are averse to receiving that treatment<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organization, there’s even a gender bias when it comes to diagnosing psychological disorders<\/a>. Doctors are more likely to diagnose women<\/a> with depression than men<\/a>, even when they have similar symptoms or score the same on standardized measures of the disorder.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A recent mental health analysis also found that men are more likely not to speak up if they’re having suicidal thoughts<\/a>. This is incredibly alarming, given that research shows middle-aged men<\/a> are the most likely to die by suicide<\/a> of any demographic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So why isn’t anyone talking about it?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to John F. Greden, executive director of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Depression Center, the arbitrary definition of what it means to be masculine may have a lot to do with it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Men have a more difficult time acknowledging, describing or owning [mental illness] than women<\/a> do,” he told HuffPost. “Men need to recognize that this is not something they can just snap out of, and it’s most certainly not a sign of weakness.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s why we created ShameOver<\/strong>. <\/strong>It’s time to have an ongoing conversation about men<\/a>’s mental health in a way that eliminates the stigma and shame of talking about it in the first place. It’s time we reclaim the definition about what it really means to “be a man<\/a>” in the face of emotional and mental health issues.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a project of our mental health initiative Stronger Together<\/a>, ShameOver will be covering how notions of masculinity influence negative stereotypes. We’ll dive into what measures are being taken to improve screening and outreach for men<\/a>. We’ll also share personal stories from men<\/a> — and the people who love them — about their triumphs and tribulations with mental health disorders.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But most of all, ShameOver will serve as a stigma-free space to face and embrace the well-being challenges that we all experience every single day. Mental health isn’t just a female<\/a> issue — it’s a human issue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

T<\/em>his post is part of ShameOver: It’s Time To Talk About Men’s Mental Health<\/a>,<\/strong> a <\/em>HuffPost Healthy Living <\/em>editorial initiative that aims reclaim what it means to “be strong” by <\/em>addressing the stigma men<\/a> face in disclosing and seeking support for mental health issues. <\/em>Each week we’ll share features and personal stories about men<\/a> and their caregivers as it relates to suicide, mental illness and emotional well-being. If you have a story you’d like to share, email us at strongertogether@huffingtonpost.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n
