Society has changed a lot, and what used to be stigmatized quite a bit is now more common. In the past, men would not go to therapy at all, assuming that it would make them seem like less of a man and would make it harder for them to get some of the respect that they would like to have. While a lot more men are going to therapy today than ever before, there are still some very specific reasons that men will choose to seek out this help, compared to women.
There are a lot of reasons that men will look to attend therapy. They may find it hard to know what their place is in the world or they may have a lot of stress going on at home or at their job.
They could have some familiar problems whether it is with their parents, siblings, or their spouse. They may struggle with romantic relationships and intimacy and will need some help with that. Men will also have symptoms of mental health that are different from women. For example, they may not cry when they have depression, but will be irritable and angry.
While there are no male-specific conditions that you have to work about, but some of the ones that are most common for men who are seeking out therapy will include:
# Problems with anger and how to manage it
# Stress, which can show up in a variety of different ways such as frustration, irritation, complaints and more.
# Work adjustments issues. This can include sabotaging their own success, anger, avoidance, and procrastination.
# Substance dependence or addiction to worry about.
# Other addictions or dependency issues. This can come in the form of sex, gambling, gaming, or internet issues.
# Body image issues that can be just as bad as women will have.
# Issues with being bipolar
# Lots of different issues with relationships if they are not careful.
# Depression, which can show up in a variety of issues like feeling that they are stuck or blank, lack of motivation, or even boredom with tasks that they used to find enjoyable.
