The strongest blokes you know may be quietly drowning. ๐
Not the obvious ones. The ones who crack the jokes. The ones who "always have it together." The dad who never misses a soccer game. The mate who's always up for a beer. The bloke at work who stays back late so no one sees him sitting in the car at 6pm not wanting to go home.
Here's the stat that should stop you scrolling: 9 Australians die by su***de every day. 7 of them are men.
It's not because blokes don't feel it. It's because somewhere along the line we got told that talking about it = weakness. So instead it gets buried under work, beers, scrolling, and "I'm fine mate, you?"
It's Men's Health Week. Time to call that out for the lie it is.
Your GP is the most private, low-pressure place to start. No couch. No judgement. No having to explain it to your wife, your mum, or your group chat. Just a 15-minute conversation with someone whose entire job is to help.
At Morisset Doctors, two of our GPs work in this space every day:
๐ง Dr Mofada Hadi โ Mental health & chronic condition management
๐ง Dr Arun Sharma โ Holistic health & acute care
Here's what most blokes don't know:
โ
Your GP can prepare a Mental Health Care Plan
โ
That plan gives you up to 10 Medicare-rebated sessions with a psychologist
โ
GP consults are bulk billed with a valid Medicare card
โ
You don't need a "reason." You don't need a diagnosis. You don't need to have a plan. You just need to show up.
The hardest part isn't the appointment. It's picking up the phone. Once that's done โ you're already further than 90% of blokes ever get.

Open Monday to Friday | 8:00AM โ 5PM
๐ Send this to the bloke you've been quietly worried about. Don't say anything. Just send it. That's how it starts.
