There's a silent mental health crisis among fathers. Burnout, isolation, and the pressure to appear invulnerable are all too common. However, Depression in men often goes undiagnosed because of rigid gender expectations and limited resources. It's time we end the stigma, start talking, and give dads who are fighting this in silence real, accessible support. Ask for help if you or someone you know is struggling -- you're not alone.

"Many men, especially fathers, ignore their mental health struggles because of pressure to live up to their family’s and society’s expectations to appear in control, invulnerable," writes Andrew Reiner. "Ultimately, this hits men with a double gut punch: It compromises their mental health, and t...

In our latest article, we analyze the unique challenges men face regarding mental health and explain why traditional support methods may not always meet their needs.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health support. Men often have trouble navigating systems that weren't designed for their communication style. We need to redefine what it means to "get help" to find support or to help someone else find it.

Using psilocybin at high doses might help patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease, according to a recent study in Frontiers in Neuroscience. In the study, one oral dose of 5 grams of psilocybin-containing mushrooms was given to a woman in her 80s living with Alzheimer's for 10 years. As a result of her advanced condition, she temporarily regained several abilities that had been lost years earlier.

Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychoactive compound found in mushrooms of the Psilocybe genus. These mushrooms may have existed on Earth for nearly 65 million years, dating to the asteroid impact that caused the dinosaurs' extinction. While Mesoamerican civilizations have used them for at leas...

According to this article, a recent Gallup poll indicates a decline in public support for LGBTQ+ issues in the U.S., particularly among Republicans. In comparison to previous years, conservative approval of same-sex marriage and transgender rights has gone down. Furthermore, the article attributes this shift in political climate to recent legislative and administrative actions against gender-affirming care.

The National Neuroscience Institute of Singapore and Duke-NUS Medical School have found a possible link between gut bacteria and anxiety by regulating brain activity. According to this study, microbial metabolites called indoles may help stabilize neurons in the amygdala, potentially making them a potential target for future probiotic-based mental health treatments.

A surprising gut-brain discovery suggests that anxiety could one day be treated with specially designed probiotics. Could anxiety be shaped, at least in part, by tiny organisms living in the gut? Research from Duke-NUS Medical School and the National Neuroscience Institute of Singapore points to
