The number of men with depression is rapidly increasing
Therapists report a significant increase in the number of men seeking treatment for depression.
A survey by the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy (BACP) found that more than half of its members said there had been an increase in the number of men suffering from mental health problems in the past year.
Experts say men often don’t show the same symptoms as women, making it more difficult to detect. Women with depression are often marked by sadness, while men are more likely to exhibit symptoms such as anger, isolation, and substance abuse.
“Through my work with men over the past year, I have experienced a steady increase in the number of men suffering from depression,” says BACP therapist Anthony Davis. “We need to help men understand and recognize the symptoms.”
Research has shown that people working in agriculture are six times more likely to die in a workplace accident than the average British person. According to insurer William Russell, there were 22 work-related fatalities in the agriculture industry in 2021-2022. The company found that the leading cause of all fatal workplace accidents was a fall from height, accounting for 29 deaths, followed by collisions with vehicles. Both of these can cause concussion and internal injuries, the most common fatal injuries.
Women who receive a false-positive breast cancer diagnosis are more likely to develop breast cancer. Mammography tests offered to all women aged 50 to 70 in the UK result in around 3 in 100 false positives. This means you will be called back for further tests and find that there are no signs of breast cancer.
But a study from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute found that women who received a false positive were 60% more likely to develop breast cancer over the next 20 years. Experts say this is because false positives can occur when doctors mistake non-cancerous tissue growths, known as benign breast disease, for cancer. Studies have shown that women who have had the disease are more likely to develop cancer.
