June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month! [Video]

June is Men’s Health Month. There should be focus on preventative health like screening for testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and diseases that affect men significantly as well as men who are minorities. But a big part of awareness for men’s health is to recognize the importance of MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH. It’s a topic that can be taboo, stigmatized, and culturally / historically one that men do not talk about. However, we have to remember our brains are organs that have so many neurotransmitters and needs also. We must care for our brain like we do other organs. Let’s take a moment to normalize talking about mental health. Truth be told that I was reluctant at first sharing my story, and I’m so grateful that I did and took steps to better myself. I have not looked back at all for that ever, and I hope to encourage others to do the same as I talk about in today’s “Reporting Live with Dr. Desai”.
