I don't know if this is the roght forum to post this, so feel free to move it.

I read the other day (actually a long time ago) that it is far worse for men who suffer from abuse or mental illnesses. Is this true? And why? Is it the male macho thing that they always want to be the strong leader in life? Or is it that men don't tend to seek help as often as women do? I was just curious...
