Why is Men’s Depression Different? Psychology and Breathing Experts Explain.

“Men perceive or suffer differently from depression and they deal with it differently.”

In this week’s episode of the OA podcast, Patrick and Daniel are joined by Oxygen Advantage® master instructor and psychologist Alessandro Romagnoli and OA instructor, coach, breathwork expert and freediver Angela Leibinger to speak about men’s mental health, freediving and breathing.

Angela is involved with breathing, free diving, and coaching and Alessandro is a psychologist with a specialty in cognitive neuroscience both are closely involved with functional breathing and both have worked closely with men suffering from depression.

5% of the world’s adult population suffer from depression. According to the statistics, women are twice as likely to suffer from depression but as Angela points out, that doesn’t mean men are suffering any less. Men are four times more likely to die by suicide and three times more likely to drink alcohol or take drugs as a coping mechanism.

In this episode the team attempt to look at how depression can affect men differently, how the signs of depression can present in different ways for men and how even the language we use to describe depression can be a big reason why men don’t engage.

This episode looks at the biological and the psychological aspects of depression for men and how clinical intervention mixed with functional breathing practices can be a huge benefit to countless men around the world.
