Feelings Are Not Facts: A Psychiatrist's Perspective
Feelings Are Not Facts: A Psychiatrist's Perspective

We encourage you to have a different and more mindful perspective, a different approach to how you respond to stress. You are free to choose how you react to the stimulus instead of being a victim and simply just reacting to your environment. You are free to question assumptions, analyze resources, problem solve, and strategize. Your life can and should be dictated by you. You can choose to react differently to stress. You don’t have to be a victim anymore. We want to teach you about proactive coping, stress reduction, and living a principle-centered life.

Seriously! Quitting smoking is the most challenging habit to stop - we get it. Tobacco cessation is also one of the best decisions you can make for your health, your wallet, your relationships, and your vanity. Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone. I have had many success stories among my patients over the years thanks to their will power, a little encouragement, a little medications for some, and psychotherapy for some. There is no one size fits all. With the right plan, tools, and support, we believe you can do this!

Dudes Expressing Feelings: A Literature Review of Major Depressive Disorder in Young Adult Men
Dudes Expressing Feelings: A Literature Review of Major Depressive Disorder in Young Adult Men

Men suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are diagnosed at half the rate of women but die by suicide 3 to 4 times as frequently (Swetlitz, 2021). Researchers argue that one of the key reasons behind this phenomenon is how societal gender processes affect how men and boys present depression and that “male-typical” symptoms of depression should be incorporated when assessing a diagnosis (Swetlitz, 2021). This literature review will cover the background and significance of MDD, how it affects young adult men, and how counselors can appropriately support this population. It will also focus on the role of other identity layers, such as culture, race, and economic status, in young adult men with MDD. In the results, one will find several critical influences behind why gender-role cultures create a bias toward men being underdiagnosed with depression. This will also cover how men suffering from this disorder can present in ways that might not be seen as a traditional diagnosis for MDD.
