Depression in men can look different than you'd traditionally expect; fatigue, irritability, or a loss of interest in work and hobbies may replace the familiar sadness or hopelessness. This can make it challenging to spot when you or a loved one is struggling. Watch for other signs like anger, aggression, substance abuse, and a lack of positive emotions. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial, and seeking treatment can pave the way to a healthier, happier life. https://bit.ly/4joYfIE

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a crucial opportunity to shine a light on the mental health challenges that impact many of us. It's a time to break the silence, especially for men, who often find themselves at higher risk due to less frequent healthcare visits and diagnoses. If you or someone you care about is experiencing mental health concerns, don't hesitate to reach out for help. Starting with a visit to your primary care provider can be a powerful first step. They can help identify physical issues that might be affecting your mental well-being and connect you with specialized care that can make a difference. https://bit.ly/4joYfIE
