As a 39-year-old man, I have been noticing some signs of depression in myself lately. It’s not easy to admit, but I know it’s important to speak up and seek help. I’ve always felt the pressure to appear strong and have it all together, but the truth is, mental health struggles don’t discriminate based on gender. It’s time to break the stigma and start a conversation about men’s mental health. I encourage other men out there who may be experiencing similar feelings to reach out for support. Let’s stand together and prioritize our mental well-being. There is strength in seeking help, and it’s okay to not be okay all the time.
