Male Depression: A Hidden Epidemic

Depression is an issue we must raise awareness about, particularly in men, as it is assumed men are able to sweep their feelings under the carpet and get on with their daily lives. Here, I wanted to discuss the stigma around gender expectations and stereotypes and why some male upbringings may encourage feelings of anxiety, depression and overwhelming responsibility.
