Men suffering mental health issues can be put off asking for help

Men suffering mental health issues can be put off asking for help Female GP receptionists can put men off asking for help with mental health issues, experts said yesterday.

Those seeking assistance can struggle to open up to a member of the opposite sex, especially strangers, MPs were told.
