This is partly due to societal expectations and the tendency to use more lethal means. Substance Abuse: Men are more likely to turn to substance abuse as a coping mechanism for mental health issues. This can lead to a cycle of addiction and worsened mental health. Specific Issues Affecting Men’s Mental Health Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Men, particularly those who have served in the military, are at higher risk for PTSD.
