Men's Mental Health: Breaking Barriers and Finding Support

The key things for me, I suppose, which I guess is just true for mental health generally- one is: someone sat down with me, a gp sat down with me and spent quite a lot of time with me exploring the story, what was going on. I suppose you know the risk factors and things like this, but I think the story being heard is the key.
Why do men often struggle in silence when it comes to mental health? This episode of the Practitioner Health Wellbeing Podcast dives into this pressing issue. Dr. Andrew Tresidder and Dr. Ed Rainbow sit down for a candid chat about the unique challenges men face. Dr. Rainbow opens up about his own battles with anxiety, burnout, and depression, shedding light on the often-overlooked emotional struggles of men.
The conversation touches on societal expectations and the stigma that prevents many men from seeking help. They discuss practical lifestyle changes and stress management techniques that can make a real difference. Dr. Rainbow, who runs mensmindgp.com, advocates for lifestyle medicine as a valuable alternative to traditional therapies. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand or support men's mental health better. It’s an honest, hopeful discussion that underscores the importance of connection and self-care.
