We discuss sociocultural problems that have led to a silent crisis where men comprise 80% of all suicide deaths. We examine the roots of the teachings and belief systems that have shaped today's men's zeitgeist. Most men are not allowed to show emotions, can't ask for help, are encouraged to be stoic, are terrified of vulnerability, and only get respect if they're labeled "alpha males'. We dare to go where others don't have the courage to until mental health is destigmatized and men feel safe to share their pain and struggles.
