Delivering Male

This is rarely the happiest time of year, the weather's grim and with Christmas gone there's little to look forward to.

However, I was cheered by the coverage in today's Times on men and depression. It sounds wrong to say that, so I'll explain.

Each of the articles making up the feature, which spreads over several pages, is positive. From Alastair Campbell on how he's managed through his working life, David Baddiel about his top tip to the wise words of Dr Mark Porter. There's a challenge in dealing with depression, individually and as a health professional but with the right approach it can be dealt with.

The Times feature was inspired by the new report from the Forum and our friends at Mind, Delivering Male. The report's heavyweight stuff which, for the first time, sets out guidance on tackling the mental well-being of men and boys. It's the latest in the Men's Health Forum's work on mental health.
