Mind
Low mood in men often wears anger, numbness, or overwork—not movie sadness.
Patterns
Irritability, isolation, risky drinking, sleep collapse, loss of interest—worth discussing with primary care or therapist same as knee pain.
Getting help
Telehealth, EAP workplace programs, peer support—start with one trusted conversation; crisis lines exist for acute thoughts of self-harm.
Note: Education for adult men—not diagnosis, treatment, or emergency triage. Call emergency services for urgent symptoms.
