Depression is a Thief
By Heads Up Guys
It's an illness that can rob you of your will to live. It can also steal: • The pleasure from things that used to give you joy • Your physical energy and strength • Your connections to friends and family • Your ability to handle stress
It's not a sign of weakness, it's a fact. Guys get depressed. Depression affects millions of men every year, and is the leading cause of disability worldwide.
There are many misconceptions about depression that make it difficult for men to talk to others and take charge of their health.
Because of these myths, men will often talk about feeling angry or irritable rather than sad or down. These myths can also feel like handcuffs for men, preventing them from reaching out to others for even a little support. This contributes to many men not seeking support until their depression is very severe, if at all. This can place men at an increased risk of taking their own lives – the greatest risk factor for suicide is untreated depression.
