Will Poulter has said the subject of mental health is “especially stigmatised” in men, adding that you cannot always tell who is “struggling”.

The 30-year-old British actor, who has been diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, depression and OCD, has teamed up with Movember for its 20th anniversary to raise funds and awareness of testicular cancer, prostate cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

Speaking about male mental health, Poulter, known for his roles in We’re The Millers and The Maze Runner, told the PA news agency: “I think, within the male community, the subject of mental health is especially stigmatised, three out of four suicides in the UK now involve men.”
