In England, around one in eight men have a common mental health problem such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

 

As with many mental health statistics, it’s hard to know if the figures really represent what is happening. They can only tell us about mental health problems that have been reported – many cases may go undiagnosed. This may be especially true when it comes to men’s mental health.

 

• Three times as many men as women die by suicide.
• Men aged 40-49 have the highest suicide rates in the UK.
• Men report lower levels of life satisfaction than women according to the Government’s national wellbeing survey.
• Men are less likely to access psychological therapies than women: only 36% of referrals to NHS talking therapies are for men

 

Enter – James O’Keefe

James has like most of us, gone through an experience trauma in his past.

 Today, he is on a path to help as many men as possible.

Regardless of age or background, no one man is exempt from the stats I have just read.

James has assembled a bunch of specialists within their chosen fields and has launched the Unguarded warrior retreat.

A complete emersion retreat designed for men.

This is seriously going to help to change the landscape of how we – men – see mental health.

 

As a parting note, this is a real, honest, and frank conversation and swearing can be heard throughout.

If you are listening to this in a car with minors, please keep this in mind.

 

I was so eager to get this out we recorded this episode at 14:00pm and its now 19:00pm on the same day…

 

So without further a due, let’s get into it!­­­­­­
