Anxiety is often seen as a women’s health issue, but the numbers tell a different story. The South African Depression and Anxiety Group says one in five men experience anxiety. Yet many men suffer in silence, reluctant to seek help or talk about their mental health.

Anxiety is often seen as a women’s health issue, but the numbers tell a different story. The South African Depression and Anxiety Group says one in five men experience anxiety.
