Anxiety, depression and masculinity: Gerhard's Story

Published: June 24, 2020, 1:41 a.m.

This episode was inspired by Men's Health Week and gave Gerhard and I the opportunity to reflect on his experience with anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation.

Gerhard shares his definition and belief of what masculinity is and how it has shaped the way he views mental health.

Shit gets pretty emotional towards the end as we reflect on the friends and family we have lost to suicide.

If you or someone you know is going through this please get reach out to someone and share! Telling someone can be the hardest part but know that you are loved and you can work through this.
