How to Spot Depression in Men
AskMen, October 14, 2022
If you’re wondering whether your lack of motivation or anger outbursts could be warning signs of something more serious, you may want to consult a professional sooner rather than later. “Just like any illness, the earlier you do something about it, the better,” according to Dr. Jeff Temple, a licensed psychologist and the director of UTMB’s Center for Violence Prevention. When left unchecked, depression can wreak havoc on your quality of life and relationships. “I wish more men could get out of their own way and understand that it’s OK to not be OK, that being depressed doesn’t mean that you failed as a man or a husband or a father; instead, it means that you’re human and may need a little extra help,” Temple said.
