Every one needs a hand to get where they need to go in life and there is no shame in having some support, some guidance its …how we learn grow and get places.

so today after the family left I said to my husband which support group should I highlight today and without he flinched Beyond Blue in particular men’s depression.

So the support group for today is Beyond Blue. 

Studies suggest that men are at greater risk of their depression going unrecognised and untreated than women. This is related to several factors. Men may become aware of the physical symptoms of depression, such as feeling tired or losing weight, or become irritable or angry, rather than acknowledging feeling sad or depressed. It’s common for men to use alcohol to mask the stress, though this in the end makes things worse.

So if the man in your life needs a little help head to Beyond Blue as well as your medical practioner for a little guidance.
