Men, Depression, and Suicide Prevention: A Conversation with Psychotherapist Dr. Joshua P. Smith.

In this episode, we again make room for the man who struggles to explain what he’s carrying and for the people who want to understand him. This is an invitation to begin a conversation that goes beyond the usual answer.

Daisy and Psychotherapist Dr. Joshua P. Smith explore men’s mental health, depression that can go unrecognized, and the conversations that matter in suicide prevention. They discuss the pressure to appear strong, the difficulty of asking for help, and how faith and professional care can work together.

He’s still going to work, answering calls, and showing up for everyone. But how is he really doing, and does he feel safe enough to tell someone?

Listen to explore:

How anger, withdrawal, and constant work can sometimes mask depression.
What “just pray about it” can leave unaddressed.
Recognizing suicide warning signs and asking direct, compassionate questions about suicidal thoughts.
Supporting men without expecting them to carry everyone else.
Making room for emotional well-being amid family, ministry, and career responsibilities.

If you or someone you love needs support, call or text 988 in the United States to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential support is available 24/7.
