On paper, you’ve got it together: career, responsibilities, maybe even a family. But inside? You feel flat, disconnected, exhausted. Some days it’s harder to get out of bed. Other days you’re irritable, snapping at the people you care about. And no matter what you do, it feels like you’re running on empty.
When “holding it together” isn’t working anymore
Depression Counseling for Men in Massachusetts
What depression looks like for men
Sound familiar? You’re not broken—you’re human. And you don’t have to keep doing this alone.
For men, it often shows up as:
Depression doesn’t always look like sitting in a dark room crying.
At Mister Health, we understand how depression shows up in men’s lives, and we specialize in helping men across Massachusetts find a way forward through virtual counseling.
It’s depression.
This isn’t weakness. It isn’t laziness.
And for men, it often looks different than the stereotypes you hear about.
A quiet voice saying, “What’s the point?”
Constant irritability or anger
Numbing out with work, alcohol, porn, or scrolling
Feeling disconnected from partners, kids, or friends
Lack of motivation or energy
Trouble focusing or feeling like you’re “checked out”
Why men struggle to get help
Most men grow up with the message: “Suck it up. Don’t talk about it. Handle it yourself.”
That works for a while—until it doesn’t. Depression doesn’t just go away if you ignore it. And powering through only makes you feel more isolated. Therapy isn’t about spilling your guts to a stranger—it’s about finally having a space where you don’t have to perform, pretend, or minimize what you’re going through.
At Mister Health, we cut out the fluff. This is therapy built for men who want practical tools, real conversation, and strategies that actually help them feel better.
