It would be interesting to note that men would probably be more resistant to 'owning' any mental health issues. The trend is starting to change with more men beginning to accept that it is okay to get help.
The mid-life pressures are real it is not always easy to cope and getting support in the early stages may improve our mental health well-being.

The ecstasy of surrender: Judith Orloff, MD at TEDxAmericanRiviera 2012
The concept of surrender is well presented by Judith Orloff. For men, surrender isn't something that comes easy. Even in crisis - to surrender is nigh impossible. It's like waving the "white flag" and I've been beaten. To accept surrender is to accept our vulnerability. In accepting vulnerability as part of humaness - is like a doorway to surrender. In surrender there is an empowerment, a letting go, an acceptance - and this acceptance is a freedom. It is so much easier to surrender rather than fighting and holding on - it brings an inner peace allows for a deeper connectedness to ourselves and our partners.
