Men's Counseling and Mental Health Issues:
- Because men are more likely to die than women for all 15 leading causes of death,
the average life expectancy for a male, at birth, is 74.6years, while for
women it's 79.6 years.
- Because men do not seek out medical or mental health information and take less
responsibility for their health issues than women, men are more likely to die
from cancer, heart disease, HIV infection, accidents, and suicide.
- Because men are less likely to see themselves as physically or mentally ill, and,
often delay or do not seek medical care or counseling when needed, even after
the development of symptoms, men are much less likely to consult a doctor,
therapist, or even a dentist, and therefore prolong or succumb to
treatable illnesses.
- Because men take greater risks with their health than women, men are more
likely to drink, smoke, be overweight, use drugs, or expose themselves to
UV radiation without using sunscreen, and are more likely than women to
be at fault for a major or minor automobile accident.
Men are not inherently less healthy than women. The source of these gender
differences in physical and mental health issues is the pressure men feel to live up
to a masculine image or role that dictates that men should not show weakness,
pain, or emotional struggle. Men avoid medical help or psychotherapy because
exposing or talking about their fears, struggles, or "feelings" is viewed as admitting
vulnerability. Men have been taught to "stuff their pain". As a result, men's mental
and physical health problems go undiagnosed, and men often find themselves at
risk of contracting and prolonging many diseases or mental health issues that
could otherwise be prevented. Beliefs about masculinity also encourage men to
take risks with their health by self-medicating through abuse of alcohol, drugs,
violence, and other risky behaviors.
