Are we sleepwalking into a male mental health crisis?

Sleep walking? Nope. Charging at full femist speed.

They begin by throwing men under the bus. With no advertised services why would men ask for help?

Suicide remains the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45, a statistic aided by a resistance to ask for help

Many suicides are tied to loss of custody in divorce. Where is that in the title. "Support for divorced men"?

More like swimming in it.

In driving the sexes apart, feminism has alienated men, causing all sorts of male mental health problems. But the stress of taking on male roles ignites an inferno of mental health problems for women, becoming apparent as the economy falls apart through high energy costs, blowing holes in standards of living. The UK is one country which is in full blown recession as a result. Of course, the notoriously feminist BBC features an article today (27th September), inviting us to sympathise with the fact that women are having to take on second jobs to pay the childcare fees! You can't make this stuff up!!! Quote from a Ms Harford: "I felt I had no choice. If I didn't have the stress of having to take a second job, I could be around the kids more, which is important while they're still young."

Maybe there was something to be said for the days when men and women worked together as a unit, for the benefit of their families. One thing's for sure, ladies - if you endeavour to live the life of a man, you will come to know the causes of unhappiness in a man.

Bruh… we’re here.

People don’t really care.

You’ve gotta make sure you’re actively connected to your immediate social circle.

Not exactly sleepwalking but only women get help. I’d say it’s more like shoving us down a hill and at the bottom is the mental health crisis.

We are in the midst of a massive worldwide mental health crisis and no one will call it what it is. Mass murders (gun, knives, explosives) are common place, school shootings are impacting schools from every corner of the world, suicides are through the roof, and there's no where to go for people who are struggling.

My friend had a mental health episode that required a 3 day stay in a psychiatric hospital. When they released her, they dropped the ball and didn't book her support therapist after telling her they did, she showed up to the appointment and they didn't have anything for her, so the soonest she could get rescheduled was 5 months later. The psych hospital then sent her a bill for $7000, after insurance, that she can't afford, so on top of her deteriorating mental health she's now $7,000 in debt and hasn't even started getting the help she needs. She's decided she can't go back to that hospital in the future if that is the price tag she'll be facing.

Like, I'm at a complete loss for her, I don't have a clue of what she could do other than self medicating (which obviously I'm not going to tell her to do that)

Yeah more like nosediving into it. Men have basically been screaming for help but the world just called us misogynists, regardless if we were or not.

Mental health care for everyone(men and women alike)is in lousy shape, thanks to a dearth of providers who are thoroughly trained in the only form of psychotherapy which has any empirical support: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and all of it's many branches. Don't anticipate Generically Red Pill folk(including most of today's prominent MRAs )to display any more enthusiasm than True Believers in Woke Thought have shown for getting more shrinks trained in CBT though, The cornerstone of this modality is getting folks to treat their own thoughts and beliefs like hypotheses that must be tested for falsifiability. Red Pill Theory and Woke Thought are both revealed to be little more than 1/8 true when they're subjected to such interrogation
