Men in the UAE are more likely to take immediate action over a broken laptop, a social media hack, or a car warning light than seek support for ongoing low mood or mental health concerns, according to new research from AXA Global Healthcare.

The study, which explores how men approach preventative health, paints a concerning picture of low urgency around mental wellbeing.
