As we approached this final episode of season 4 life circumstances guided us towards today’s topic. And what better way to end the season and go on break short than with a (mostly) serious discussion about mental health and depression! :) The world, both internal and external, is burning and we are all somehow trying to cope and we all suffer the consequences. Hit play and join us as we open up about some of our experiences and those of people close to us.
When many people think of depression, they imagine it as persistent sadness. While this is a common symptom of depression, it’s not the only one, and it may not even be the most significant one. What’s more, it’s more likely to be a symptom of depression in women than in men. Men with depression may not feel especially sad. Instead, they may feel irritable, angry, or aggressive. For many men, being unusually short-tempered, getting in more arguments, or being excessively critical are more reliable signs of depression than sadness.
