Re: Topic Tuesday // Is mental health more challenging for men? // 20 June, 7pm AEST
You're right @Glen-MensLineAu, that mental health can be challenging for us all at times. But picking up on @Shaz51's point about her husband feeling the pressure to provide. Do you think this is a factor in men's struggles?

My yes was in answer to the first question - Is mental health more challenging for men. My special interest is that I'm male - although I'm equally interested in women's health & well-being challenges.

Thanks for joining us @redheaded. Can I ask what you're thinking about in terms of the particular challenges that men face?

I think that's an interesting point @Adge about isolation. It can be very undermining of our mental health. Do you find that coming through on MensLine @Glen-MensLineAu?

Perhaps @Determined has an opinion on this topic too. I think men are less likely to seek help as society's stereotype doesn't necessarily allow for them to do so.
You only have to look at men when they are out shopping. They will rarely ask for assistance in finding what they are want.

That's sad to hear @Shaz51. Is that related to how his illness has made it hard to provide? It sounds to me like you both work very hard. But he wishes he could do more?
