The Invisible Battle: How Men Are Secretly Fighting Body Image Pressures and Winning Against All Odds
Men and Body Image: A Closer Look
When we talk about body image issues, we often hear about how women are affected—but men struggle too, often silently. In recent years, more men are opening up about their experiences with self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating. Still, for many men in Chicago and beyond, these struggles remain hidden beneath layers of societal expectation and cultural silence.
As a men’s therapist in Chicago, I work with guys from all walks of life—corporate professionals, tradesmen, dads, athletes, students—and body image comes up more often than you’d think. Whether it’s pressure to be muscular, lean, or look a certain way in gym culture or on dating apps, the impact on a man’s mental health can be significant.
