According to the ADAA (Anxiety & Depression Association of America),
Depression, anxiety, trauma, substance misuse, and suicidal thoughts impact millions of men each year. Yet men are significantly less likely than women to seek professional mental health treatment, often because of stigma, cultural expectations, or the belief that asking for help is a sign of weakness

* Nearly 1 in 10 men experience depression and anxiety, but less than half receive treatment.
* Men account for nearly 80% of all suicide deaths, and 60% of those men had no documented mental health condition.
* Firearms are involved in over 50% of suicide deaths in men.
* If you or someone you know needs help, please text or call the Suicide Crisis Helpline- 988
