A new South African Depression and Anxiety Group Sadag survey has shown a growing mental health crisis among men during the festive season, with experts warning December and January remain the deadliest months for suicides in the country.
A webinar session presented by Dr Bronwyn Dworzanowski-Venter unpacked data from a national survey and a 2020 mortality study.
The survey was done online by people of all races and ages, living in communities such as Diepsloot and Ivory Park in Gauteng, as well as others in the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and the Northern Cape.
