Neftaly Helping Men Recognize Signs of Depression That Aren’t Sadness
Depression Isn’t Always What You Think It Is
When most people think of depression, they picture sadness or tears. But for many men, depression shows up differently — often hiding behind anger, fatigue, irritability, or numbness.
At Neftaly, we want to help men recognize the less obvious signs of depression, so they can get the support they deserve before it becomes overwhelming.

Feeling unusually frustrated or quick to anger, even over small things. - ???? Loss of Interest or Motivation
No longer enjoying hobbies, work, or social activities once meaningful. - ???? Fatigue and Low Energy
Feeling constantly tired, sluggish, or physically drained. - ???? Emotional Numbness or Detachment
Feeling disconnected from emotions or people around you. - ???? Changes in Appetite or Sleep
