THE SILENT STRUGGLE - What Men Don't Say About Mental Health
Jun 6, 202500:39:28Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Deron discusses men's mental health, particularly in the context of June being Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Deron shares his journey with mental health, discussing his struggles with major depressive disorder, anxiety, adult ADHD, and PTSD, and emphasizing the importance of talking about our feelings and the detrimental effects of the "toxic alpha male" mentality that discourages men from seeking help. Deron reflects on the societal pressures that lead men to suppress their emotions and the consequences of this silence, including the alarming statistics that show 75% of suicide victims in the U.S. are men. I also touch on the unique challenges faced by black men in seeking mental health support, including cultural stigmas and a lack of relatable healthcare providers. Throughout the episode, Deron advocates for the necessity of therapy and open conversations about mental health. I provide resources for those seeking help, including affordable therapy options and mental health apps. My goal is to encourage men to start small, whether through journaling or seeking professional help, and to remind everyone that mental health should be a priority for all. Deron concludes by expressing gratitude to his supporters and urging listeners to take their mental health seriously. It's time to break the silence and seek the help we need.
