Men's Health Month is a national observance during the month of June that aims to raise awareness about all aspects of men's health care. While most of the focus is on men's physical health, a push is underway to get men to start talking about and supporting their mental health.
According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), men are reluctant to reach out for mental health support or seek treatment due to an anticipated stigma.
WGN News Now spoke to Mike Bushman, a spokesperson for the Illinois chapter of AFSP about the symptoms of men's mental health, treatment and what can be done to break the stigma.
