In an extensive interview with Le Figaro newspaper, Dr Rob Whitley, author of Mental Health for Men, discusses the psychological distress experienced by men, which he considers to be a ‘blind spot’ in our society.

He stresses the importance of recognising their specific difficulties, such as higher rates of suicide and drug addiction. Dr Whitley advocates a diversified approach to support, noting that solutions such as physical exercise can sometimes be more effective than traditional pharmacological approaches in improving men’s well-being.
