Dmytro Zinkevych // ShutterstockA June 2025 national survey from Beyond Finance sheds light on a growing issue: Financial distress is fueling a silent mental health crisis among men. Only 27% of men surveyed rated their mental health as “excellent,” and just 15% said the same about their financial health. “Men are suffering in silence when it comes to their finances,” says Nathan Astle, a certified financial therapist with Beyond Finance. Proof point: Nearly 1 in 4 men surveyed said they don’t feel comfortable seeking financial advice from anyone. Proof point: Nearly 40% of men say money troubles have left them feeling disconnected from friends, and 37% avoid friendships that make them feel financially insecure.
