Men’s Mental Health
from Lift For Life with Graham and Angus · host Graham Ambrose and Angus Warburton
Men often experience serious mental health problems, but are less likely to seek help, discuss their struggles, or access treatment. In the UK, around 75% of suicides are male, making suicide one of the leading causes of death in younger and middle-aged men. Traditional expectations of masculinity can discourage help-seeking. Many men are still socialised to be self-reliant, stoic and emotionally controlled. These traits can make it harder to admit vulnerability or ask for support when needed. Angus & Graham discuss the topic broadly, their own journeys and how they have benefited from their relationship.In this episode, they cover:- Why men are less likely to seek help or talk about their struggles- The role traditional masculinity plays in keeping men silent- Their own personal experiences and what changed for them- How lifting has impacted their mental health, confidence and outlook on life💪 Lift for Life is a podcast about how weight training transforms more than just your body.🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on lifting, mindset, and real talk from two guys who've lived it.-Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj_⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/
