A growing number of men are experiencing mental health struggles. However, surveys from all around the world find that men are very reluctant to talk about their mental health. As a result, their mental health issues often go undiagnosed and untreated, and many turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms. In today’s show, we’re going to open up a conversation about men’s mental health.
I am joined by David Khalili), a licensed marriage and family therapist, board-certified sexologist, and founder of Rouse Relational Wellness), a boutique couples and sex therapy center in San Francisco.
