An insightful article. I agree that more men should seek help for mental health challenges. However, a significant problem with seeking help is mental health practitioners' lack of foresight and insight. Here in the UK, it is challenging to access black mental health professionals or people who understand the socio-cultural that can impact black men's mental well-being. Many in the psychiatric profession treat all humans as the same. From my personal experiences of the mental health profession in the United Kingdom, I would speculate that many apply the theories they have learnt without considering the external socio and cultural factors that can impact an individual's mental health.
