#70 - How depression manifests in men | Prof. Dr. Siegfried Kaspar at Men's Health
Depression in men is a frequently overlooked and underestimated condition. While women more often present with classic symptoms such as sadness, lack of motivation, or social withdrawal, the illness often manifests itself quite differently in men. Instead of quiet sadness, irritability, anger, aggression, and restless hyperactivity dominate. Many men experience physical symptoms such as chest tightness, headaches, or increased sweating, so they don't consider a psychological cause and initially consult their general practitioner. Another reason for the delayed diagnosis is men's lower tendency to seek help. While women are more likely to seek support in stressful situations, men often react with fight-or-flight behavior. They distract themselves, work excessively, or turn to alcohol, which masks the actual illness. As a result, depression in men is less frequently recognized, often goes untreated for longer, and can lead to severe cases with an increased risk of suicide. In this podcast episode, Professor Dr. Siegfried Kasper, one of the most internationally renowned psychiatrists, explains why the standard diagnostic criteria are insufficient for reliably identifying depression in men. He shows which symptoms are most prominent, how doctors can ask the right questions, and why language is crucial for reaching affected men. Furthermore, the most important biological and social factors that influence the development and course of depression are examined. Particular attention is paid to therapeutic options. In addition to thorough diagnostics, including thyroid and hormone levels, the focus is on selecting appropriate forms of psychotherapy, the effects of medication, and the role of modern procedures such as transcranial magnetic stimulation or esketamine. Equally important are measures to strengthen resilience, such as stable social relationships, a regular sleep schedule, and abstaining from alcohol. This episode offers a comprehensive overview of the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of depression in men. It highlights the differences between male and female manifestations and demonstrates why timely help is crucial. Thus, the podcast provides valuable knowledge not only for professionals but also guidance for those affected and their families who finally want to understand what depression in men truly looks like.
