Mental Health Disorder on Dipression
Depression is a mental health disorder that can affect anyone, including men. However, many men may not even be aware that they are experiencing depression because they may not show traditional symptoms such as crying or emotional outbursts. Some common symptoms that men may experience when depressed include:
Feeling irritable or aggressive
Withdrawing from social interactions and loved ones
Finding it difficult to concentrate or make decisions
Engaging in risky or impulsive behaviors
Feeling fatigued or lacking energy
Having trouble sleeping or oversleeping
Experiencing physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach problems
Men may also be more likely to try to self-medicate through drugs or alcohol. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of depression, it is important to seek help from a mental health professional. Treatment for depression can include therapy, medication or a combination of both.
