Why are men so depressed, frustrated and angry? Men's Mental Health Special Pt 1

Why are men so depressed, frustrated and angry?

So many men struggle with feeling disconnected, low, maybe even depressed, and far removed from their sense of purpose, often facing overwhelm, sadness and isolation. Life can then feel flat, and modern societal pressures only add to this burden. You or your partner might feel stuck and unsure of where to start, and the term ‘crisis of masculinity’ just seems to ring a bell that strikes a chord in us, but one where no music seems to play. 

This show, and this 3 part series, is a journey of understanding male mental health. Men, like everyone else, need to grow, evolve, and connect with their true selves. Society often expects men to suppress emotions and prioritise logic over feelings, leading to profound unhappiness and mental health struggles. This is where I will argue that there is NO crisis of masculinity. 

In this episode, we look to uncover the reasons behind the high rates of depression among men. Could it be a crisis in masculinity, societal changes or physiological factors like declining testosterone levels, increased obesity, and sedentary lifestyles? Or is there much more to this conversation than meets the eye. 

This episode isn't just about understanding the problem; it's about finding solutions.

By the end of this episode you'll understand the factors contributing to healthy male mental health, which of course links to our physical health, and have practical strategies to combat it. 

Men, it's time to challenge what you know and take steps towards a healthier, happier life.
