Men’s International Health is just finished.
Did you know?
- Men live on average 5 years less than women
- Twice as many men die of skin cancer as women
- 72% of men admit to binge drinking
However its not just men’s physical health which gives cause for concern:
- Northern Ireland has the highest suicide rate in Europe for young men
- Men are more likely to have an alcohol or drug dependency
- A third of men have not seen a Doctor in the past year and one tenth have not seen a GP in 10 years
- Surveys show men believe they will look weak to ask for help and should just “soldier on “
So rather than keep it to yourself discuss your difficulty with a friend, family member or professional counsellor.
So rather than” putting up with it” ask for help. What have you got to lose?
