> Oliffe said that in the last decade, there has been "low government investment in men's mental health."

When has it ever been otherwise? Was there some past time I've forgotten about where government spending on men's mental health was high?

I'm just not convinced by this article. Male teens are moody and anxious? Seems pretty normal. That was me in the 1980s for sure. We had no idea what the future held, other than we'd probably all be nuked at some point pretty soon.

The point about gambling is hard to argue against. Abolishing (or simply stopping enforcement of) various gambling bans around the world, especially those specifically scoped for the youth, is a fairly recent development. Upholding those bans took constant investment - the incentives to tear down the protections were always there.
