Jessica Lockett | Getty Images By now, most people are familiar the chilling figures around male mental health: suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK, three times as many men die by suicide than women, and men are less likely to access psychological therapies than women, according to the Mental Health Foundation. The big question is: why? Of course, there’s no simple answer, explains Dr Jay Watts, Clinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist and CALM adviser. “Men still struggle to speak about emotional pain. Old myths such as, ‘real men don’t cry’ linger longer in the psyche. This means that men often feel alone and hopeless - often without the same access to a language about emotions that women are more encouraged to cultivate in early life, and as a result of the way female friendship groups form, Dr Watts says.
