High risk

Mental Health

Men are statistically less likely to seek help for mental health challenges, yet are at higher risk of suicide. Evidence-based approaches — exercise, therapy, social connection, and in some cases medication — are effective and increasingly destigmatised.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does exercise affect men's mental health?

Regular aerobic and resistance exercise has antidepressant and anxiolytic effects comparable to medication in mild-to-moderate cases. Exercise increases BDNF, improves sleep, and provides structure — all of which support mood regulation.

What are the signs of depression in men?

Men often present with irritability, anger, risk-taking, increased alcohol use, and social withdrawal rather than classic sadness. Persistent fatigue, loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities, and sleep changes are key signals.

Should men see a therapist?

Yes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has strong evidence for depression and anxiety. Many men find single-session or structured short-term therapy more accessible than open-ended counselling. Online and app-based options have expanded access significantly.
