On The Couch With Dr Tracie Rogers

Clinical psychologist Keshan Latchman is On the Couch and we discuss the many ways in which depression can manifest for men. Men are just as vulnerable to depression and other mental health struggles as women. However, as Keshan points out, we teach our boys and men that sadness is a "soft" emotion, and as a result, it is easy for men to suffer in silence. In this two-part episode, learn more about how depression can show up in the lives of men.  In the second segment, Keshan continues our discussion by describing some of the symptoms of depression. We discuss some behaviours or practices men may engage in as they attempt to "numb" the pain and discomfort caused by depression. We also discuss getting help and what that process may look like.  If you are experiencing long periods of sadness (more than 2 weeks at a time), you may be struggling with depression.
