MAN UP? THE DANGEROUS ADVICE MEN KEEP HEARING !

Men’s mental health is often overlooked therefore leaving a lot of men to suffer silently. Society teaches men to be strong, stoic and unemotional, which discourages them from speaking out. This silence hides struggles with depression, anxiety and stress that can weigh heavily on them. Many men feel that admitting vulnerability will be seen as weakness. As a result, they keep quiet, even when the pain becomes overwhelming. This silence can lead to harmful coping mechanisms like substance abuse or isolation. The lack of open conversation makes it harder for men to seek professional help. Today, Mr. Andrew Mutugi shares with us his story and how he has navigated through challenges that men have to go through as a result of their upbringing.
