Why vulnerability matters for men’s mental health
The survey found 65% of men hesitate to seek help, and researchers say stigma and shame leave many with untreated depression and anxiety.
- A 2023 Cleveland Clinic survey found that 65% of men are hesitant to seek professional help for mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, and depression.
- Traditional masculinity provides a narrow definition of manhood, causing men to feel ashamed of emotional challenges and avoid vulnerability to prevent acknowledging perceived flaws.
- National Center for Health Statistics research shows men are 4 times more likely to die by suicide than women, with less than half of 1 in 10 men experiencing depression or anxiety receiving treatment.
- Dialing 988 connects individuals to the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for confidential support, while experts advise men to unlearn the idea that expressing emotions is a sign of weakness.
- Starting small—such as sharing a personal detail with a friend—helps men become more comfortable with vulnerability, as embracing openness can foster relief and freedom to speak honestly.
