I’m glad this was posted here. It’s really encouraging to me that the younger men in my life seem pretty self-aware and willing to talk about mental health. While my young son (18) didn’t reach out to me to ask about an increase in his
usually mild depression/anxiety and whether he should start medication, his brothers did. He was back to normal pretty quickly. Men and boys need to advocate for each other wherever they can.
