00:00I think we can all agree here that one of the worst feelings in the world,
00:03It's about having to go through one of the worst ordeals of your life, the kind that destroys your mental health.
00:07and to feel unable to talk about it.
00:09To think that nobody gives a damn, as some say about your depression.
00:12June is Men's Mental Health Month, and the statistics are not
00:15good.
00:1675% of suicides in France are committed by men, so it's very real.
00:19that many of us would rather end it than talk about it,
00:22than asking for help, than showing vulnerability.
00:24We men have grown up with a whole bunch of clichés in our heads that make us prefer everything
00:27cash in silently
00:28rather than being perceived as a victim, the label that is frightening.
00:31We've been told too often that we shouldn't air our problems too much.
00:34that crying was reserved for girls.
00:35that the only legitimate injuries were physical and certainly not mental.
00:39So I ask you the question, how many of us?
00:41How many of us still have to kill ourselves before we stop being afraid of it?
00:44talk ?
00:45What is the bravest thing you have ever said?
00:48So, to the millions of men who suffer in silence for fear of being judged,
00:51Help!
00:53Know that talking about it does not diminish your masculinity.
00:55Need help?
00:56On the contrary, that's the real strength.
00:58It has not been abandoned.
00:59It's about fighting these demons with all the weapons at our disposal.
01:02It's refusing to give up.
01:05And if that requires showing vulnerability and asking for help,
01:08Do it.
