In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in older men seeking support for mental health and loneliness, an issue that is often overlooked. Many older men have historically been reluctant to express vulnerability, due in part to societal expectations that they remain self-sufficient and emotionally resilient.

Recently, singer Liam Payne has opened up about his mental health struggles, revealing the intense challenges he faced during and after his time with One Direction. Payne candidly shared his experience with alcoholism, addiction, and suicidal thoughts, particularly highlighting how fame, isolation, and media pressure led him down a dark path.
