The stigma of mental health and mental illness can be deadly in market segments dominated by men. Historically, construction, maritime and manufacture are not perceived as work environmental where men can talk about their problems. As a consequence, men suffer in silence which affects their physical health and wellbeing. This is a global problem that impacts human performance, productivity and prosperity. The realization that male workers in traditional industries are just as fragile as other male workers in more stressful occupations such as finance and sales. This presentation only begins to focus on the issue but the impact can be catastrophic for the individual, the person's career, company, society, policy, and the economy.
Men and women feel differently about the trials and tribulations in their life. These feelings manifest themselves into pyschosocial disorders such as drinking and suicides for men while women tend to cope better through social interaction. So how can men find ways to avoid the stigma and seek the help and support they need to work and live productive lives?
What are the mental health problems that men face - and what are the ways they can be addressed? Jim Pollard from the Men's Health Forum lays out the latest research.
The document discusses men's mental health and issues like stress and suicide. It notes that over 15 million sick days in the UK each year are due to mental health issues and lists common stressors like work, family, health and money. Signs of stress are discussed, as are the most common causes of male death over the last 100 years and global suicide rates. Ways to help oneself and look out for others are suggested, like talking, self-care, exercise and making small positive changes.
The document discusses depression, including its prevalence, symptoms, causes, types, and treatment options. Some key points include:
- Depression affects 10-15% of people with diabetes and 35-45% of heart attack patients.
- Symptoms include persistent sadness, changes in appetite and sleep, loss of energy, poor concentration, and thoughts of death.
- Causes can include genetics, environmental stressors, physical illnesses, and personality traits.
- Types of depression include major depression, bipolar disorder, and dysthymia.
- Treatment involves medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. Self-care strategies like diet, sleep, and social support can also help combat depression.
Communication is vital for a strong and fulfilling marriage. The Bible speaks to the importance of communication in Proverbs 15:4 and 16:23-24 and James 3:6-12. True communication involves sharing yourself clearly so the other person understands. Only 7% of communication is the actual words, while 38% is tone of voice and 55% is non-verbal cues. Barriers to good marital communication must be overcome and include overtalking, undertalking, talking too fast or slow, being too loud or quiet, emotional versus thoughtful talking, avoidance, shifting topics, persistence and responsiveness issues. Men and women also differ in their communication styles, and understanding each other's love languages is important.
- The document discusses dual diagnosis, which is when a person has both a substance misuse issue and a mental health disorder. It is common for the causes and symptoms to overlap.
- Dual diagnosis is a major issue, with around 3/4 of prisoners and 75-80% of drug/alcohol service users also experiencing mental health problems. Only 62% of drug users with mental health issues receive treatment.
- Having both a substance use disorder and mental illness leads to worse health outcomes and difficulties accessing care. The document advocates for services to better coordinate and meet people's full range of needs.
The document discusses stress, burnout, and their management in project management roles. It defines stress and burnout, identifies their causes such as heavy workload and lack of support, and discusses their physical and emotional manifestations. The document then provides tips for preventing and overcoming burnout, such as setting boundaries, relaxing, and developing new skills. It emphasizes the importance of being aware of one's strengths, values, and career ideals to find fulfilling work and avoid burnout.
Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for marriage. Premarital counseling can help ensure that you and your partner have a strong, healthy relationship — giving you a better chance for a stable and satisfying marriage. This kind of counseling can also help you identify weaknesses that could become problems during marriage.

Mental disorders can affect women and men differently. Some disorders are more common in women, such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

When it comes to other mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, research has not found sex differences in the rates at which they are diagnosed. But certain symptoms may be more common in women than men, and the course of illness can be affected by a person’s sex. Researchers are only now beginning to tease apart the various biological and psychosocial factors that may impact mental health.What are symptoms of mental disorders in women?

Here are some ways social media can negatively impact mental health:
- Comparison: It's easy to compare your own life to the highlight reels people post online, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy. The curated lives people portray are often not an accurate reflection of reality.
- FOMO (fear of missing out): Constantly seeing updates about what friends are doing can trigger anxiety that you're not participating or being left out of experiences.
- Cyberbullying: Social media allows bullying to follow people everywhere via hurtful comments and messages. This can damage self-esteem.
- Less face time: Overuse of social media may replace real social interaction and connection, which is important for mental well
The document defines mental health as a state of well-being and effective functioning in one's life and relationships. Mental illness is described as disturbing and disabling conditions that affect not only the individual but their family and community. Some key points made are that around 20% of patients in developing countries visit health facilities for psychological reasons, and major causes of mental illness include organic factors, heredity, and social/environmental stresses. The document also outlines various types of mental disorders, warning signs of poor mental health, and components of comprehensive community-based mental health programs.

Few engineering or administrative controls are used to protect workers in India's coal mines. Workers are exposed to coal dust which contains respirable crystalline silica and heavy metals. Workers suffer from silicosis and other pulmonary diseases from their workplace exposures in the mines. There is no health insurance and workers have a limited life expectancy.
The Health Safety Executive (HSE) published information on occupational lung disease statistics in Great Britain in 2023. The results underscore exposure to occupational illness in various industries in the UK.
Individual work tasks and business operations vary from industry to industry as well as within each industry. OSHA has collected a wealth of industrial hygiene sample data prior to the change in collection methods. We looked at the OSHA data to determine where the risks occurred within each industry. The results were surprising and the level of effort to inform workers was limited at the same time. Since our investigation, the occupational exposure limits have also changed so we compared the past data sets to the new exposure limits. There were even more surprised in our analysis.
While some stress is good to help drive business excellence, too much stress can have the opposite effect. There are individual variabilities of performance based on experience, education, training, and other psychosocial issues. Understanding stress and how to cope is very important tool. We explore the concerns of workplace stress and stress withing interpersonal relationships.
Migrant children are being exploited as they enter into a new country in order to support their family. These children work in agriculture, construction, and maritime industries. Some are sold as slaves while others are held in bondage or contract labor. No controls are used to protect their health or wellbeing.
After the earthquake in Turkey, workers, public and private citizens were exposed to asbestos, respirable crystalline silica and heavy metals from the debris and cleanup operations. This slide deck helps to illustrate the health hazards created by this disaster. Controls should have been used to reduce the risk of exposure.
Workers, volunteers, and the public are exposed to respirable crystalline silica, asbestos, and heavy metals from both natural and manmade disasters. This presentation looks at the potential occupational health exposures and the controls that could be used to reduce risk.
Workplaces in China have few controls yet they display updated industrial operations showing the hierarchy of controls. In many industries, workers are exposed to very dusty operations from coal mining to construction. This presentation aims to highlight those operations and work tasks where improvements can be made. There are consultants and organizations that could provide support to reduce the risk of exposure and prevent occupational illness and disease.
Business and industry in Bangladesh are different from the remainder of the world. Occupational health and industrial hygiene are poorly represented in the country. Health hazards and risk of occupational illness and disease are prevalent. A hierarchy of controls should be developed by the government and rules of engagement enforced. Tax credits should be given to employers to improve their workplaces and business culture. Investments in human capital should be made to evaluate conditions and provide sustainable improvements to reduce the liability and risk of illness and promote prosperity.
The industrial hygiene profession is expanding far beyond protecting worker health. IHs are looking into climate change, environmental and public health concerns, sustainability, mental health and so much more.
Many questions have been raised regarding the protection of workers and the public during the pandemic. This presentation offers insight into the precautions necessary of preventing exposure and the controls needed to reduce risk.
Industrial hygiene is a science to protect workers from harm due to chemicals, biological and physical agents, radiological and ergonomic exposures. Our professions spans other concerns related to workplace health including drugs and alcohol, mental health and so much more.
What we see does not always relate to the occupational health and safety hazards in the workplace. While doing surveys, our brain only sees 10% of what's actually going on. Learn more how to be more aware of your surroundings.
The business world is changing and the need to keep workers and leaders informed is ever more important. However, the time constraints to deliver the message must be provided in short sound bites so that it can be managed with the myriad of other daily responsibilities. The answer is to provide training when workers and leaders can attend online. Lessons need to be short and deliver meaningful information. The lessons need to build upon each other so the entire message is complete at the end of the training. By reimaging how we can deliver information in a timely fashion will improve our capacity to protect workers, public and the environment in the future.
Occupational and environmental health and safety have taken center stage in all market segments across the globe. The cost benefit of protecting workers, public, and the environment outweighs the cost of negligence and avoidance by limiting liability and risk while improving human performance, productivity, profitability and prosperity.
Mental health and psychosocial disorders are pervasive throughout the business world. Leadership needs to understand the cost benefits of incorporating these issues into existing safety and health management systems to improve the livelihoods of bot workers and their families. By improving policy, programs and procedures, everyone benefits from a better working environment, climate and culture.
Heat stress is a concern for baseball and softball officials doing multiple games over a tournament weekend. Some officials can officiate 9-11 games over a three day period with little rest in between. With elevated air temperatures and relative humidity during mid-day, officials are affected by the environmental conditions. This affects not only their cognitive skills but their physical ability to call plays. Wearing the protective gear places an additional heat strain on the officials behind the plate. This presentation discusses these issues and offers a basic model to judge the relative risk of heat stress for officials and assigners who are in good physical condition.
Industrial hygienists and occupational health professionals have been evaluating work environments and providing solutions to business for decades. With the advancement in technology and expansion of the profession into neighboring disciplines, they can provide total work health to more vulnerable populations across the globe.
The SARS CoV-2 virus has had a different effect on construction as opposed to other industries. These essential workers find themselves in various indoor and outdoor environments either working alone or along side with multiple trades. So the exposures vary with job work tasks and locations. This brief examines when it is necessary to employ more engineering or administrative controls to protect worker health.
Whenever a business is going to make a capital improvement to protect workers from harm, a cost benefit analysis should be done to determine if it is a sound decision. There are several ways to make the determination, which is explored in this brief.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

and to make decisions, good decisions that you would make if you
weren’t in that stressed state.”
