How do you break down? Be a man,\u201d Brian Mulondo commented during a segment of the BoyzToMen show on D\u2019MightyBreakfast which was talking about mental health.<br \/>\nHowever, Peter Igaga says mental health has become a conversation based on the issue of stress. He adds that we are living in a world that always puts us in positions that come along with pressure, hence the rise of mental health topics.<br \/>\n\u201cWith life, you will always be under pressure. For as long as there is a problem to be solved, there will always be pressure,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cYou have to deal with stress. People get stressed out because they don\u2019t deal with the stress. Running away from stress is the worst thing,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nAccording to Igaga, people are suffering from mental health because they hold the pressure within themselves which eventually, explodes.<br \/>\nOthers, he says don\u2019t know that they put themselves in situations that cause pressure and stress. According to Maritza, stress is self-inflicted, to which Igaga agreed.<br \/>\n\u201cOne of the hardest things to accept is that you are the source of your stress. If you look inside you, and you are honest, you will realize 80% of the stress is caused by you,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nIgaga advises that men should limit unnecessary stress, learn how to plan and also avoid unnecessary habits like drinking. He also advises men to be firm and able to change situations and their reactions to them.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to podcast here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dailymonitor\/3-mar-2021-boyztomen-talking-men-and-mental-health\">https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dailymonitor\/3-mar-2021-boyztomen-talking-men-and-mental-health<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u201cMany people will say that men don\u2019t care about mental health because many of them have been asked to \u2018man-up\u2019 during difficult times.
