Focusing on men's mental health
November is Men's Health Awareness Month and we now pay attention to men's mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety, which in some instances results in a tragedy such as suicide. According to the World Health Organisation, over 13 700 suicides were reported in South Africa in 2019. Of these deaths, 10 800 were men while 2 913 were women. Psychologists believe that challenging the status quo, talking about it, and raising awareness can save lives. Kyle Deans and Jordan Lategan, first-year Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communications students founded 60.4.60, a student-run campaign, to help raise awareness focusing on mental health for men in South Africa. We also have clinical psychologist, Dr Daniel Letsoalo.
