Shocking numbers of men blame poor mental health on job

A charity has cited work as the main factor in causing poor mental health amongst men – AOL reports.

Mind, who campaign for increased support and respect in regards to mental health, say that men who work in industries where a ‘macho culture’ exists are prevented from opening up about their feelings.

The charity raised concerns that many men do not feel able to speak to their bosses about the impact their job is having on their wellbeing.

Mind’s survey found that one in three male workers attribute poor mental health to their job, compared with 14% who say its problems outside of work that cause bad mental health.
