Ep 17: Men's Mental Health Crisis | What's Killing Men Silently | Dr. John Ogrodniczuk

75% of suicides every year are men. In Canada, it's the second leading cause of death for men under 50. And yet we barely talk about it.In this episode, Martin sits down with Dr. John Ogrodniczuk — Professor of Psychiatry at UBC, founder of Heads Up Guys, and author of over 300 scientific publications on men's mental health — for one of the most honest conversations we've had on this show.Martin also shares something personal: at 21, he lost his father to suicide. What followed was 30 years of trying to understand why — and this conversation is part of that.Together they go deep on: why men don't ask for help and what it's actually costing them, the shame buried inside suicide notes, what it's like to be left behind as a survivor, the difference between clinical depression and existential overwhelm, why teenage boys are at a turning point around age 14, and how to start breaking the silence — starting with the men in your own life.This one matters. Share it with a man you care about.🔗 Heads Up Guys: headsupguys.org 🔗 If you or someone you know is struggling, contact the Crisis Services Canada line: 1-988-456-4566men's mental health, male suicide, men and depression, why men don't ask for help, suicide prevention, men's mental health podcast, UBC psychiatry, Heads Up Guys, toxic masculinity mental health, men's suicide statistics Canada, suicide loss survivor, negative self-talk men, men's emotional health, masculine identity crisis, men's therapy podcast.
