The UK’s rising mental health crisis in men | On the Ground

‘Every man is struggling’: the rising mental health crisis as UK gets poorer ►

The north-east has suffered decades of industrial decline and a devastating cost of living crisis, which men say is having a detrimental impact on their mental health.

Video producers Maeve Shearlaw and Christopher Cherry follow Earl John Charlton, who is using his experience of homelessness and drug addiction to get other men to open up. From walk and talks to open mic nights, amid the reality of working in a declining industry, he tells men in his community that it’s OK not to be OK.

  1. The problem with mental health is that you don't realise what you are going through a lot of the time. I had a breakdown a few years ago but didn't realise i wasn't well until recently. Until very recently I wouldn't have posted this.

  2. Take the jobs the migrants would have taken and you won't be so bored and you won't be so poor and we won't have to feel sorry for you so pull it together

  3. Well, we could have better public services if people didn't vote for the Tories.. We need public services and access to healthcare. The NHS and health facilities are on their knees thanks to the conservatives and their blaming of other poor people and immigrants. Whilst they finger point, they dismantle our health system, pushing us toward privatisation.. Happens every time.

  4. And anyone who tries to address this and help men is attacked. Look at Jordan Peterson and how mainstream media treats him. Cathy Newman asked him why most his viewers are men like that was a bad thing.
