Why is teenage depression often overlooked in boys, and what are the signs that parents and friends should look out for to support them early?

    They did just release a hugely popular Netflix series which addresses exactly this issue

    Because they often lay it down to hormones and assume they will grow out of it. Mental health for children and teens is often overlooked for similar reasons.

    It’s not just teenage boys, it’s depression in all males that’s overlooked.

    Well obviously because it’s self inflicted and men need to stand up and fix the problem with men not being comfortable with showing intimacy around women /s
