Speaking of men and mental health.

Generally, men’s mental health improves through action, even if it’s physical activity. Things that are tangible and measurable.

IMO it’s also why western medicine sucks at men’s mental health, their solutions are usually finding ways to be okay with a bad situation

Every doctor and mental health professional will tell you that physical activity is good for your mental health. That’s not the problem.
People get mad when they’re told to exercise more. They want an easier solution. I get it, it’s insulting to be depressed AF and get told “try going for a walk”. Exercise isn’t the end-all solution and won’t magically make you happy, but as someone who struggles with my mental health, the weight of the world is much lighter when I’m regularly going to the gym. It’s hard to get out of bed and go some days, but I just bargain with myself that if I go for just 30 minutes I can come back home and sleep and usually I end up staying for much longer.
