RE: JOIN US FOR THE ECOTRAIN QUESTION OF THE WEEK #7.8: WHAT DON'T PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ENOUGH! WHY DON'T MEN CRY?

in ecoTrain3 years ago

I think this is very true. Although the situation has improved, men are often still not encouraged to express their emotions. Additionally, on a slightly different note, many people don't realize that when men are depressed, their symptoms are often different from those of women. This means that depression in men often goes undiagnosed. Male depression often shows up as irritability, anger, and with physical ailments (See
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/male-depression/art-20046216for more details.) I suspect this is precisely because men are discouraged from sharing their emotions.

Hi @harlowjourney, thank you for taking your time and reading my topic, this is a problem that occurs daily in our society, however it is not addressed by the people around you due to ignorance and without taking into account the serious consequences of a man living repressed. Greetings and thank you for sharing the information you gave me.

By the way, I don't know whether you noticed my comment after your link on the qotw post. There is a problem with your link. It does not work for some reason. I think it is the hashtag at the end.
