Men’s mental health stigma remains overlooked, ignored & still lurks silently in the shadow of society. Men may be silent in the face of mental illness due to external stigmas & social stereotypes.

For many men, social images create an understanding of what their bodies should look like. Often the dominant ideal, both celebrated and desired, is fat-free, with bulging muscles and well-defined pecs.
