Nov 06, 2023, 05:00 PM
Mick Coyle looks into the number of men receiving support for depression on this week's episode.
New stats from BACP shows 52% of therapists are seeing a rise in the number of men coming forward to get support.
At the same time, just over half say men are put off the idea of getting therapy because of societal pressures and stigma.
Dan Reid shares his story in this week's episode - he reached out for help after living with depression for a decade, and now runs a Men's Walking and Talking organisation to provide an alternative space for men to talk about their feelings.
Dan and Mick also discuss the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety - summarised by R.A.I.S.E - which you can learn more about on the BACP website.
