I'm embarrassed to admit my depression and anxiety. It's like admitting I'm weak and less of a man.

Thank you for taking the time to keep this short and sweet. I'm a male 65 yo and just started see a mental health professional. I found that my gp just wasn't cut out for the issues I was experiencing. It's only been a year but do I feel better. So for those hesitating, quit and go see a true mental health professional. It'll change your life!

I have reached out multiple times. Woth my doctor. 1 said i didnt need meds. 2 said i did. When i got meds it did nothing. All they seem to do is just chuck different meds at me so i gave up. I found Tramadol and Cocodomol much better, mostly for the fact it just makes me dizzy an turns off my brain in daily life.

I'm alone but occasionally people have noticed that I become angry over events and people that don't usually bother other people. So anger can be an outward behavior that may not be suspected at first, as a manifestation of depression

Great Stuff Travis!!! I had to learn this the hard way... I took a counseling course a few years ago and realized I had been struggling with depression for years! A few of these signs resonate with me. I talkec a little about it on one of my recent videos. Thanks so much for sharing this info!!!! I think many men can benefit from it because we don't think depression impacts us...

[docgoodman]

Excellent and very informative! I truly believe the effort you’re making, in helping us men understand depression and other life challenges is making a difference! Thank you, Travis!

[LifeMeetLightning]

Very important topic and great information! Thanks for sharing!

[MrBigboi]

I love your content. It’s very informative, straight to the point, well edited and ver helpful !

Powerful video, Travis. Thank you for talking about depression in men. It is important to know how mental illness manifests among all genders because truly, we all should really support one another. It means a lot to understand the illness and to show - in words and deed - that we understand and that it is OK to not be OK. Mental health is normal and if we are mentally ill, there is no place for stigma. We can get treatment and lead our lives, achieve and be productive. VRAFAM here. I subscribed! We share the same goals somehow in terms of mental health, staying well and being positive.

Women can cause men to be depressed/ depressed men cause women to leave/ women leaving men makes depression worse.

I used to be severely depressed; I related to every symptom mentioned in this video. I was in and out of counseling for several years with little success. However, after taking a relatively large amount of psilocybin mushrooms, my depression is practically gone. It made me see just how beautiful life is and how lucky I am to be alive, and how dumb it would be to take myself out. Psychedelics are an exceptional mental health breakthrough.

[debbiehaythe]

What an important channel you have. Thank you for this great information.

[ghenulo]

I've been depressed. Social isolation is a cure for, not a symptom of, depression. Though, a couple of things you list did happen to me when I was depressed: I lost interest in things I used to enjoy, I lost about 85 lbs, and I thought about suicide but didn't know of a foolproof way to do it (I figured I'd botch it up and be in even worse shape).

[mikesmith]

My depression and anxiety symptoms I developed diabetes, low testorone, exhaustion, chest pains, Ed, constantly angry, racing thoughts, feeling very sad & down, insomnia, bps (buried penis), lack of friends and support, feeling tired all of the time, feeling isolated & invisible.

[KristinGrady]

I’d like to hear more about the irritability and anger aspect. I know somebody like this and to make it even worse, he doesn’t go for physicals or believe in seeing doctors. He thinks he knows everything and refuses to accept the changes I’ve noticed over the past 2 years.

[fallon]

Great video. My husband is in a deep depression and your video helps ❤

[KH-rfeh]

Do you have any suggestions on how to get my partner to seek help? He’s a very smart guy, but doesn’t believe in mental health. His parents both have depression and his dad won’t seek help. He has 90% of what you describe and it’s like walking on eggshells in the relationship. He blames me for everything, yet his depression is getting worse day by day.

[coryjohnson]

I’m just hopeless and don’t think it’ll ever change. I can’t even be out in social settings anymore without SEVERE social anxiety. At 36, it just gets worse with age. I’m wasting my life away 😞.

[Dimite]

What do I do if I genuinely do not have the money to be able to treat this

[SimplySimesEvents]

What if someone doesn't want professional help😢
