Men have experience a lot of name calling because there’s a moral gauge used to judge who should be called a man or not but is that really the ideal thing? 

Men suffer mental health problems not as much as women but they take their lives more than women do. 

Do you know why? What makes a man a man? Is it the money or affluence? Is it the ability to perform in bed? 

This episode tells a lot that you shouldn’t miss.

When you think of how you were treated by people around you growing up, how do I feel?

When you think about how people treat you now, what comes to your mind?

There is a strong indication that you’d feel either of these two ways:  loved or unloved, appreciated or I appreciated etc.

However way you feel, the next question is if you’re treating people the same way you were treated or being treated at the moment.

You see the truth is that unless we make conscious efforts, we’d find ourselves treating people the way we were treated by others. The treatment we met out to others is a reflection of a number of things and one of such is how you see yourself.

Would you please sit down this day to evaluate how you treat others viz-a-viz how you see yourself?

I often tell people that I am not good at initiating friendships but I go hard to ensure the one I have works and one major way is by communicating.

Research has shown that friendship plays a vital role in our mental well-being.

Friendship is a crucial element in protecting our mental health. Our friends can keep us grounded, help us get things in perspective, and help us manage the problems that life throws at us. If we’re experiencing a mental health problem, our instinct might be to hide away and avoid our friends. But friendships can play a key role in helping us live with or recover from a mental health problem and overcome the isolation that often comes with it. We can end up with the strongest relationships with the people who’ve supported us through hard times.

This episode features a friend of mine, Damilola Babatunde and together we looked at this subject.
