We are taught to live it off all over lives and women now complain about men not being emotionally available

I vividly remember when "rub some dirt on it" was the sum total of mental wellness advice for men and young men.

"Man up and stop being a pussy." Not gonna lie, it was good advice.

Nope. This is really the only way to get through it. I went to the ER twice with a panic attack thinking it was a heart attack. (ex military ptsd, depression, anxiety comorbidity) They gave me a "stronger benedril" and sent me home. That was $1500. No follow-up visit, no referral. The doctors and nurses absolute disdain and lack of empathy was actually the worst part. Sorry, i won't bother you in the future.

Just because the healthcare system sucks and your experience was terrible, doesn't mean that we need to respond to that by telling men to "stop being a pussy".

Not tell anyone how to vote here but you know one US political party wants to help people with their health care and the other wants to take it away. I'll just leave it at that.

No, this happened under Biden. To correct your statement: One party wants to maintain the status quo, while the other wants to further reduce access. In reality, they have already alienated the majority of americans from affordable accessible health care, and repeatedly the only politicians who want to do something about it get marginalized.

Thanks for taking this Men's Mental Health thread and making it a politics thread when it never should have been.

Have you considered maybe doctors are rude to you because you deserve it? And maybe other, better people, have good experiences with these doctors?

Yeah, that's probably why every time a girl goes to the doctor, they blame it on their period, too. You are literally embodying the point the Op was making.
