Depression in men doesn’t always show up as sadness. Instead, it can appear as anger, irritability, reckless behaviour, or even throwing yourself into work to avoid how you really feel. Because these signs don’t fit the “typical” image of depression, many men struggle unnoticed and undiagnosed. If you’re feeling constantly on edge, snapping over small things, taking dangerous risks, or just feeling emotionally numb, it might be more than stress—it could be depression. Recognising these signs is the first step. Talking to a doctor, therapist, or a trusted friend can help. You’re not weak for reaching out—you’re strong for taking control.
