Male Counselling
Problems affecting males can encompass a range of mental, emotional, and physical health issues that are either unique to men or more prevalent in men. These can include psychological stress related to societal expectations, mental health disorders like depression and anxiety, and health issues like prostate and testicular problems.
Common Symptoms Include
- Mental Health Symptoms: Depression, irritability, excessive worry, difficulty expressing emotions, and withdrawing from relationships.
- Physical Health Symptoms: Changes in libido, erectile dysfunction, frequent urination, pain in the lower back or pelvis, and unexplained lumps in the testicular area.
- Behavioral Symptoms: Increased use of alcohol or drugs, aggressive behaviors, taking unnecessary risks, or neglecting responsibilities.
- Emotional Distress: Feelings of worthlessness, persistent sadness, or fatigue that affects daily functioning.
These issues can be challenging for males and their families, who may feel unsure how to support their loved ones effectively.
