This issue looks at men's and boy's mental health. Although there are arguments that all mental health services and research are implicitly based on men, but if a gender lens reveals inequities for women then it also has the ability to reveal areas of concern for men. In this volume, read about the challenges of fatherhood, suicide risk factors at various ages, and 'drive for muscularity.'
