Have you ever felt the weight of societal expectations dictating your emotional responses? Join us on Mental Horizons as we unravel the complexities of men's mental health. This eye-opening episode promises a fresh perspective on how cultural norms have long pressured men into silence, preventing them from seeking the support they need. We share the inspiring story of Joseph from San Jose, who found relief and a newfound sense of freedom simply by opening up to a friend. His journey challenges the stereotypical image of stoic masculinity, offering hope and encouragement to those still battling in silence.
Together with my co-hosts DJ Tyler and DJ DeMarie, we navigate the often uncharted territory of men's emotional well-being. By redefining what it means to be strong and masculine, we highlight the power of vulnerability and the importance of mental health education across schools, workplaces, and communities. Get ready to challenge the status quo as we discuss strategies to dismantle stigma and create environments where men feel comfortable seeking help. Tune in and empower yourself to join the movement toward healthier, more open conversations about mental health.

This is DJ Tyler.
To start, let's look at thecurrent landscape of men's
mental health.
Studies show that while men andwomen experience mental health
issues at similar rates, men aresignificantly less likely to
seek help.
This discrepancy often stemsfrom cultural norms that
discourage men from expressingvulnerability.
Society's pressure to conformto a traditional masculine ideal
(03:13):
can prevent men fromacknowledging or addressing
their mental health concerns.
Joseph from San Jose,california, had this to say this

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Thank you for letting me add my two cents.
For years, I thought I had tohandle everything on my own.
When I finally opened up to afriend, it was like a weight was
lifted off my shoulders.
The sad truth is, when it cameto my relationship with my now
ex-wife, when trying to expressmyself, it often was a one-way
conversation and less about myemotions or feelings.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Interesting take.
This is DJ DeMarie.
Societal expectations canheavily influence men's
perceptions of mental health.
The age-old stereotype that menmust be stoic and unemotional
persists in many communities andcan be harmful.
Challenging these normsinvolves redefining masculinity
(04:06):
to include strength in seekinghelp and expressing emotions.
Normalizing these conversationsin media and everyday life is
crucial for breaking downbarriers.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Increasing awareness and education is key to
fostering an environment wheremen feel comfortable seeking
help.
Initiatives in schools,workplaces and communities that
promote mental health educationcan help dismantle stigma.
Awareness campaigns andworkshops can empower men to
recognize the signs of mentaldistress in themselves and
(04:33):
others, encouraging them to takeaction sooner.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Thank you for allowing me to talk about men's
mental health on this program.
In regards to how I dealt withmy mental health, once I
attended a workshop about mentalhealth, I realized I wasn't
alone.
Understanding that many otherswere facing similar challenges
was eye-opening.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Building strong support networks plays a vital
role in men's mental health.
Encouraging open conversationsamong friends and family can
provide the emotional supportnecessary to weather difficult
times.
It's important for men to feelthey have a safe space to
discuss their feelings withoutjudgment.
Additionally, professionalresources such as therapy and
support groups can offerinvaluable guidance.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Practical steps towards improving men's mental
health involve promoting overallwell-being.
Regular physical activity,establishing healthy routines
and practicing mindfulness canbe beneficial.
It's also important tohighlight self-care as an
essential part of daily life.
By actively prioritizing mentalhealth, men can improve their
(05:40):
quality of life and buildresilience against stressors.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
As we wrap up this segment, men's mental health is
a vital issue that deserves moreattention and action.

This is DJ DeMarie, and welcome to another Great Day
Radio discussion.
For this segment, we continueto discuss men's mental health
and how it relates torelationships.
Mental health is a crucialaspect of overall well-being,
yet men's mental health issuesoften remain hidden or
overlooked.
Statistically, men are lesslikely to seek help for mental
(07:56):
health concerns due to societalexpectations to appear strong
and self-reliant.
This leads to men experiencinghigher rates of issues such as
depression and suicide.
It's time to change thenarrative and encourage open
conversations about mentalhealth.
We will open up the dialogueright after these messages from
our supporters.

This is DJ Tyler.
Thank you for staying lockedinto this show.
In my experience, when it comesto relationships, it has been a
mental challenge, to say theleast.
For example, the expectationfor a man in the house is to
handle the burden of the familyand oftentimes never get the
appraisal as the wife orgirlfriend desires.
Oftentimes, when I attempted toexpress my feelings or emotions
(09:00):
, it get dismissed.
In fact, it is often thrownback in my face as the better
half deflects the conversation.
This often leads to me shuttingdown or becoming isolated in my
thoughts.
Throughout history, masculinityhas often been tied to specific
stereotypes stoic, strong andself-reliant.
However, the modern era isseeing a transformation in these
(09:24):
ideals.
Being a man in a relationshiptoday involves embracing a more
holistic identity, one wherevulnerability is viewed as
strength and emotional presenceis highly valued.
Men today are redefining whatit means to be masculine,
stepping away from rigid normsand moving towards more
authentic selves.
Jonathan from Denver, colorado,says when I started to embrace
(09:48):
who I am without fitting into amold, my relationship became
more genuine.
My partner appreciates the realme, not just a facade.
Emotional intelligence iscrucial in any relationship,
especially for men learning toarticulate and manage emotions
(10:09):
emotions by being emotionallyintelligent, men can navigate
their relationships with empathyand understanding, improving
conflict resolution andfostering emotional intimacy.
This aspect is becoming acornerstone for building lasting
partnerships.
A key component of modernrelationships is partnership
characterized by shared goalsand mutual support.
In today's society, men aremore engaged in fostering
(10:29):
equality within theirrelationships.
This means supporting theirpartner's ambitions, jointly
making important decisions andsharing life responsibilities.
This collaborative approachensures both partners feel
valued and empowered.
Jose Hernandez from ChicagoIllinois says this we discuss
everything from our career plansto household chores.
(10:51):
It's a partnership where bothvoices matter and that makes all
the difference.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
When I think about my role in my past relationships,
I admit that I was not a goodlistener when it came to my man.
As an example, when he came tome to state how he felt, I would
often throw something negativefrom the past to suppress his
feelings.
I think I did this to avoid thetough conversations.
Back then it was all about myego.
I also think it was how I wasraised that men are to be tough
(11:21):
and cater to me.
Despite progress, men stillencounter societal pressures to
meet certain expectations, suchas providing financially or
maintaining a tough persona.
However, understanding thatsuccess is more than just
financial or societal status isvital.
True success in a relationshipis often found in the depth of
(11:42):
mutual support and understandingshared with one's partner.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
This is DJ Mikey D.
I want to chime in on thisconversation First, DJ D Marie,
thank you for takingaccountability on your role.
This is an emotion that israrely displayed when discussing
men's mental health in arelationship.
I agree, we men are so used togiving up on discussing our
emotions when confronting issuesin our relationship.
(12:06):
In my example, I would oftenexpress how I missed our
intimacy.
I would often get resistance.
Just so you women know, us menjust don't want to have
intercourse.
We thrive better in ourrelationship even when we get
appraisals on what we do or thetouch of a hand or the close
embrace.
When we are met with resistancein touch and communications, we
(12:28):
shut down and drift.
As we wrap up this segment,here's my thoughts.
Being a man in a relationshiptoday is about embracing change,
growing emotionally andfostering a meaningful, equal
partnership.
Relationships can be a powerfulavenue for personal
transformation and deepconnection.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You are welcome, dj.
Mikey D, I am just being realabout it.
Many of my lady friends havefailed relationships and are
quick to blaming the men intheir lives.
They hardly ever take personalresponsibilities in their role.
The lesson learned in my pastrelationships is to be more
empathetic towards my betterhalf.
They hardly ever take personalresponsibilities in their role.
(13:07):
The lesson learned in my pastrelationships is to be more
empathetic towards my betterhalf.
What I learned was I lived thisfairy tale.
What I realized in living thisfairy tale is that I created
this expectation for my man thathe could never meet.
In essence, I set him up forfailure.
I often expected him to read mymind and know what I needed.
The sad truth is I never onceasked what he needed.
I never once appraised him forbeing a great father.
(13:29):
I never once appraised him forwhat he brought to the table, as
I mentioned previously, when hewas trying to be a problem
solver.
I would view it as criticism.
I never understood that.
It is men's process to beproblem solvers and I failed at
(13:49):
embracing that or letting himguide the family.
Lastly, I often spoke about mylove language.
However, I failed to understandhis.
I failed to understand hisvalue to the family.
