In India, traditional notions of masculinity often pressure men to suppress emotions and endure silently. This expectation, while seemingly promoting strength, can lead to significant mental health challenges. Studies consistently show that men are less likely to seek support for mental health issues, contributing to a hidden crisis of shame, loneliness, anger, and grief. This unspoken struggle impacts not just individual well-being but also affects workplace productivity, relationships, and overall societal health. By fostering environments where men can openly express themselves, we can challenge outdated norms and build a healthier, more emotionally intelligent workforce and community.
