The mask of masculinity has kept too many men silent about their mental health. In this powerful episode, psychiatric provider Allen Green shares his personal battle with lifelong depression and suicidal thoughts—publicly for the first time.

Now the owner of Greenhouse Psychiatric Services, Green uses his experience to break the stigma around men's mental health. He sheds light on how depression often looks different in men, the dangerous myths of "toughness," and how physical and mental health are deeply connected. From the gut-brain link to ketamine therapy, this episode is full of insights that could save lives.
