Are men suffering in silence?
There may be some cynicism about John Prescott’s motivations for revealing his battle with bulimia, but the consensus is the gruff former deputy prime minister may have done reticent fellow countrymen a favour when it comes to their health.
So are men really suffering in silence, too embarrassed to come forward about a range of disorders deemed to be “female”?
By coming clean about his struggle with what has been described as a “girl’s disease”, Mr Prescott has been applauded for drawing attention to the fact that some one in ten of those with eating disorders are male.
His taboo-breaking revelation was “very important”, according to men’s health specialist Dr Mark Hamilton. “A lot of people still see this as a disease of women and it is heartening to see John breaking this down.”
In fact bulimia – a dangerous if not usually life-threatening disorder – may just be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to men failing to come forward about health problems seen as the preserve of women.
