I just think there are more women that seem to open up about the issues of mental illness. Men, like myself, have them too and it is just as hard. But we are told from birth that men do not talk or show emotions. I really wish this would change.

I agree..men go through mental illness just as women and should talk about it, share and open up like anyone else..i believe anyone that may say "men should not...." is only denighing someone's right to be human. I think it takes a strong and brave person to open up and share/admit what they feel and think.
