The iconic Bollywood line, "Mard ko Dard Nahi Hota" from the movie 'Mard,' often sets the tone for discussions about men's mental well-being. However, the data from the National Mental Health Survey 2015–2016 is startling, revealing an overall prevalence of mental morbidity at 13.9% for men, while women have an overall prevalence of 7.5 percent.
The intention here isn't to draw comparisons between men and women but rather to shed light on the often overlooked mental well-being of men.
Based on retrospective studies conducted at
NumroVani(sample size of 5k), a staggering 3 in 4 men choose not to discuss their mental well-being. Fortunately, this trend is shifting significantly in modern times.
The primary reason behind these concerning statistics is that men often perceive opening up about their emotions as a sign of weakness, leading them to suppress their feelings (Energy in Motion).
While everyone is unique, astrology and zodiac signs can provide valuable insights into understanding the men in your life.
