Male Depression

Male depression is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or loss of interest, which can affect daily life. Men may experience unique symptoms, such as irritability, anger, or risk-taking behaviors, and might be less likely to seek help due to societal expectations about masculinity. It can also cause physical symptoms like fatigue or sleep disturbances. Recognizing male depression requires understanding these signs, as it differs from typical expressions of sadness. Treatment options include therapy, support groups, and, in some cases, medication, helping men manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.
