KMGH: As Mental Health Is More Widely Acknowledged, Men Still Struggle

Talking about it's not too shabby. It's also not a replacement for agitating for not only jettisoning the APA's guidelines on men and boys, but providing more readily accessible training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(an umbrella term for the handful of psychotherapies for which we have substantial empirical evidence for)to practicing shrinks, the majority of whom have little to no training in psychotherapy, beyond what the brief overviews they get in university

If we're serious about making progress on this front, there's cause to question whether it's even wise for us to keep treating it as a gendered issue. Therapy as usually practiced today doesn't benefit women much either

Men are disposable. We can see that in wars. Who cares about mental health of disposable people?
