Hostage

Hostage: one that is involuntarily controlled. Many men are controlled by feelings of anxiety or depression. They are literally held hostage by an involuntary feeling that can't be described, identified, or understood. The problem is we never talk about it. We just try to "Man Up" because of the social stigma and lack of transparency as men. However, 77% of men polled have suffered from common mental health symptoms like anxiety, stress, or depression. 40% of men have never spoken to anyone about it. In this episode, we are joined by our buddy, Chet. A retired law enforcement professional who found himself in a hostage situation with anxiety. Honest talk about an issue that men don't talk about.
