In addition to June being Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, it is also PTSD Awareness Month.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a mental condition that results from either experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event. Traumatic events can include assault, combat, serious accidents, or a natural disaster. According to the National Institutes of Health, symptoms may include nightmares, uncontrollable thoughts about the event, emotional flashbacks, and avoidance of distressing memories.

It is important not just this month, but every month to understand PTSD, raise awareness, and find support or be someone's support.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month 🧠

According to Mental Health America, the US male population is 151,781,326 while the average for males affected by depression per year is 6 million. Depression is just 1 of the 5 main mental health problems affecting men, with the other 4 being anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and psychosis or schizophrenia.
Unfortunately, there is still a large stigma around men’s mental health. This results in many men not seeking treatment. Asking for help is not weak, in fact it takes so much strength to do so.
