Mental Health Support for Men
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it’s something that many men struggle to prioritise.
Our expert advice: Do not ignore your mental health.
Hint: A simple explanation of prioritising your mental health is doing things that make you feel fulfilled and/or a sense of accomplishment, not necessarily “good”.
At Bicton Medical Clinic, we provide compassionate, non-judgmental mental health support to help men of all ages navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges.
It’s vital to speak up when things don’t feel right, and our doctors are here to listen and offer solutions, whether through counselling, referrals, or lifestyle advice.
Trust yourself; you’ll know if things don’t feel right in your life.
Men’s Health Services: What and When?
Here are a few key services men should consider at different stages of life:
- Prostate exams: Recommended for men over 50, or earlier if there’s a family history of prostate cancer. These exams can help catch issues early and improve outcomes. Find more information here.
- Heart health assessments: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for men. Regular heart health checks, particularly from the age of 40, help reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
- Sexual health: Regular STI screening, safe sex education, and managing conditions like erectile dysfunction are essential for maintaining healthy relationships.
- Mental health check-ins: Men of all ages should consider routine mental health check-ups, especially if they are feeling overwhelmed or experiencing prolonged stress or low mood.
- Healthy lifestyle support: Your doctor can provide tailored advice on how to adopt a healthier lifestyle, including managing weight, improving diet, and quitting smoking. These changes can prevent a range of health issues, from heart disease to mental health concerns.
These services not only help detect health issues early but also support men in maintaining a better quality of life.
How to Be a Healthy Male
Maintaining your health doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are a few simple steps every man can take to improve their quality of life:
- Stay active: Regular exercise supports heart health, reduces stress, and improves mood. Try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of activity into your day, whether it’s a brisk walk, cycling, or hitting the gym.
- Eat well: Focus on fresh fruit, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. Avoid processed foods and minimise alcohol intake, which can contribute to weight gain, liver problems, and mental health issues.
- Take care of your mental health: Manage stress, and seek support when needed. Talking to someone can be the first step toward feeling better.
- Regular check-ups: Preventive health checks are vital for staying on top of your health.
Don’t wait until something feels wrong – be proactive.

FAQs
A prostate exam is a routine check to assess the health of the prostate gland. It’s usually quick and while some men find it uncomfortable, it’s not painful, and it can be life-saving in detecting early signs of prostate issues.
It’s recommended to have an annual health check-up, particularly from the age of 40. However, younger men should also have regular assessments, especially if there are any concerns about mental or physical health.
Absolutely. Our doctors are here to help with both physical and mental health. Feel free to discuss any concerns, from anxiety to depression or stress – your mental wellbeing is just as important.
It’s completely normal to feel nervous about seeing a doctor, but we’re here to make your visit as comfortable as possible. If you have any specific concerns, let our reception team know ahead of time so we can help accommodate your needs. We may be able to advise on a time when our practice is quiet, or help in other ways. The worst thing you can do is not see a doctor and risk worsening your health.
