Niall Breslin is an Irish guitarist and mental health campaigner and was alone in a coffee shop in March when an older man confronted him. Breslin was all too familiar with isolation as a long-term sufferer of anxiety and depression. Mental Health Awareness Week begins in the United Kingdom on Monday. The pandemic has exacerbated the sense of loneliness that many men across the world always felt. Breslin has seen significant changes in how men communicate with one another during the last year. They believe getting help shows vulnerability or because of such negative masculinity stereotypes. A 2015 research published in the American Journal of Men’s Wellbeing discovered that men are less willing than women to disclose their problems to family members and mental health practitioners.
