Comment on Could we improve men’s mental health?

Therapy is never a cure. If you have a problem then therapy can help you confront it and deal with it, but if we have a massive society-wide mental health crisis it will not be solved by each man individually seeking therapy.
We need meaning in our lives, something worth dedicating ourselves to, and the means to pursue it. Mercenary capitalism won’t provide that.
In short, I don’t see an answer. I think it will get worse.

Therapy gives you the tools to help achieve that. You are completely underestimating it.

If it’s one big cause that applies to millions, then no, individual therapy cannot fix that massive problem.
