I should've done this around the same time as my pride month post but I neglected to bring attention to another very important month even, which is men's mental health awareness month (also health overall). Just as women struggle with issues of their own kind, men have their own unique struggles relating to mental health and it can be even harder for them to come forward about it due to stigma surrounding the topic and toxic masculinity practices, resulting in many men being completely miserable in their lives, or even going as far as taking their own lives.
I feel that in today's society, we especially need to be aware of these things because men are typically and inherently better at hiding certain emotions that are associated with mental pain like depression and anxiety, but this goes further when we bring up higher risk disorders like those relating to psychosis, developmental and neurological disorders like Autism and ADHD, among many, many other common disorders.
I want every male identifying person reading this to know that you are seen, you are heard, and do not be afraid to let your struggles be known!
