The 21st century has seen a good trend in the mental health field. As people are becoming more and more aware of mental health issues and their treatment, many are opening up about their depression and anxiety issues of late. Though many advocate removing the stigma associated with mental health, there is still a long road ahead. 

Now, an elite fitness influencer joins the march as he celebrates the men’s mental health month. Noel Deyzel, known for his positive videos on YouTube, shared an important message on the subject with his followers on Instagram.

Noel Deyzel shares his thoughts on mental health

In an emotional post the bodybuilding icon said, “By the end of this video, ten men would have attempted to take their own life.” He reasons out his statement by reflecting on societal prejudice, “Society has forced men to suffer in silence because we are seen as weak if we ask for help.”

So, he took responsibility to spread awareness of the issue and initiate openness of mental health conversations. “Check in with the men in your life. It starts with a simple ‘How are you?’” he suggested. He also asked people to be transparent and open up if they receive such questions from their well-wishers.

“Be open and transparent because all of us rather have a friend to cry on our shoulder than to cry at their funeral,” he opined. He captioned his post, “It’s men’s mental health month and I hope this video helps you.” His followers get these positive updates from the South African bodybuilder. Earlier he advised his fans on how to deal with tricky situations.

“You can play the role of ‘Oh poor me’ and be a victim of your circumstances, or you can take the role of ‘I’m in this f***ed up situation’, let me make the most of it and benefit,” he suggested.
