Often times, men are unaware that what they are experiencing are depression symptoms. They may tell themselves, "It's my job - I just hate my job." They may think, "It's these kids - they're loud, messy and needy." Maybe they even blame themselves, "I'm failing at everything. Nothing I do is ever good enough."
I have found most men are shocked when I tell them most of the symptoms they are experiencing are signs of depression in men. When we hear "depression," we think sad, weepy, crying, pititful, lonely. Those things can be true. But, men typically experience a loss of interest in things they used to enjoy, irritability, bursts of anger/a short fuse, lack of motivation, loss of libido, weight gain, indifference, feeling worthless or like a failure.
If you or a loved one are feeling these things, a therapist can help. That first step to ask for help can be hard. We try and make it a little easier at Cactus Wren. Simply navigate to our website and fillout the inquiry form and we'll call/text/email you to set up an appointment.
