Not to be that guy but haven't this been known for a loooooooong time now...? I recall listening to TED talk (silly times) at least 15 years ago already talking about how behavioral pattern difference of seeking help between men/women pointing to this.
By now I would've hoped the conversation have moved from re-recognizing the problem and iterative solution seeking?
Silent suffering of this cohort have for the last maybe 10 years been too profitable segment to actually solve it (manosphere for example being one of the vicious extractor).
The solution have always had some alignment with the observation that for guys (girls too ofc), a sense of belonging, purpose, (and if younger) guidance and healthy rawmodels have been important. It warms me to see locally how much lively the surrounding became when they installed a free-to-use outdoor gym and football courts. (and for the older cohort, Frisbee golf apparently).
It doesn't help that when this conversation comes up, people start to project a lot and inevitable people will start to bring up women (in antagonistic tone) creating a cesspool of bitterness to hijack the conversation.
