Men are far less likely than women to seek professional help for mental health challenges, and
when they do, many don’t stay in therapy for long. Some argue that traditional therapy was designed
around communication styles and emotional expression that resonate more with women than with
men. Others say the problem isn’t therapy itself, but the stigma that still surrounds men asking for help. So, is modern therapy meeting men where they are, or are men being left behind in the mental health conversation? We unpack the debate.
