In recent years, there has been a growing conversation about mental health in the mainstream media. And in part, you could put that down to the power of celebrity. One effect of this seems to be that it gave us all permission to look at ourselves and acknowledge that “it’s okay not to be okay". This might not seem such a revelation for girls and women. After all, it’s clear from watching children play and interact that girls are socialised to talk about how they feel and what’s going on for them. However, in contrast, boys have always been less inclined to communicate how they feel.
