Part 10/12:
A recurring theme is the profound silence around men's mental health issues. Alan recounts how men are conditioned to hide pain, suppress feelings, and endure hardships silently. The stigma is reinforced by institutions that dismiss or marginalize men's struggles, leading to a tragic history of underreported depression, suicide, and emotional neglect.
He criticizes religious and community groups that
"blame" men for their issues, demanding more sacrifice rather than providing support or acknowledging systemic failures.
