Why Men Hide Their Pain Behind Anger


Listen Later

Canadian counsellor Bill Jeffery explains why depression in men is often disguised as anger, irritation, outbursts, withdrawal, and emotional shutdowns — and why so many men - and their partners - don’t recognise it for what it is.

We break down:

  • Why male depression rarely looks like sadness
  • How boys are conditioned to suppress emotions
  • Why anger becomes a socially “acceptable” outlet
  • How partners can spot the early signs
  • What support actually works for high-functioning men
  • If you are a high achiever, a partner of one, or someone supporting men’s mental health, this interview will change how you see anger forever.
