Beards and tattoos cannot disguise the fact that many men struggle with their role as a man. But where does bad mood end and depression begin? Is it hidden behind icy silence or behind anger and aggression?

Experienced psychologist Jens-Michael Wüstel provides insights into the background and symptoms of male depression and offers a proven 5-step program to strengthen both body and mind.
