We're Ryan, Dan, and Ant, three 20 something lads, from Birkenhead, who love football. 24% of women and 13% of men in England are diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. But men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women. We wanted to know why. Join us every Monday and Friday as we speak to people from the wide world of football, all about Mental Health, in an attempt to learn more about it, and encourage men to feel more comfortable talking about their health and wellbeing, and attempt to remove the stigma that still surrounds the topic.

Taking an academic look at mental health in football.
Gary Souter started his career as a mental health Nurse, he now works as an associate professor in Nursing at The University of Leicester.
Having already completed his masters, Gary embarked on an ambitious PhD to study mental health within football, by interviewing current professional footballers about their experiences of mental health, sound familiar?
During this episode we discuss the findings from Gary's interviews, players feigning injury instead of admitting their mental wellbeing wasn't stable enough to play, stories of changing room bullying, and an environment that despite the obvious progress, still finds itself playing catch up to other major sports.
