Shawn Mendes wants to encourage men to speak out about mental health.

The 'In My Blood' hitmaker has been vocal about his anxiety battles and hopes talking out about it will help other people do the same.

For Shawn, honesty is clearly the best policy

and he praises the likes of John Mayer and Ed Sheeran and he says he wants to be honest like them.

Meanwhile, the hitmaker previously revealed he has been having secret therapy sessions

to help with his anxiety and this made him have a “conscious effort” to be more connected to people in his life.
