at Lyte Psychiatry (Best Adults and Adolescents Therapist and Psychiatrist Near You — Affordable Therapist and Psychiatrist Near You | Dallas & Arlington, TX)
At Lyte Psychiatry, we work with men across Dallas & Arlington, TX who’ve spent years hiding their symptoms—until burnout, broken relationships, or a health scare forced them to take a closer look. The truth? Depression in men is real, and it's more common than you think.
“Tough it out” instead of seek help
Prioritize performance over emotion
Avoid vulnerability at all costs
This results in many men suffering in silence—until the symptoms are too severe to ignore.
Depression in men often appears differently than it does in women. Here’s what to watch for:
Irritability, anger, or mood swings
Emotional numbness or disconnection
Risk-taking behaviors (substance use, reckless decisions)
Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
Appetite changes or weight fluctuation
Frequent aches, pain, or digestive issues
Negative or hopeless thoughts
Loss of interest in work, hobbies, or relationships
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide (even if unspoken)
Untreated depression can lead to:
Relationship breakdowns and family conflict
Job loss or underperformance
Long-term physical health problems
But when treated, men often regain clarity, confidence, and emotional control they thought they’d lost.
If something feels off—if you're angry more often, tired all the time, or just feel like you're going through the motions—it’s not weakness. It’s a sign that something deeper may be going on. And that something deserves attention.
At Lyte Psychiatry, we’re here to help men who’ve been quietly struggling with depression finally feel heard, understood, and supported—without judgment, labels, or pressure. Whether you’re managing a high-stress career, raising a family, or simply trying to stay afloat, we offer real tools for real-life challenges.

Q: What if I’m not “sad,” just angry or numb?
A: That could still be depression. In men, it often shows up as anger, restlessness, or emotional disconnection—not necessarily sadness.
Q: Will I be forced to take medication?
A: No. We explore all options with you and only recommend medication when it’s beneficial and aligned with your goals.
Q: Can I still be a good provider, father, or partner while in treatment?
A: Yes. In fact, treatment can help you be more present, balanced, and fulfilled in all aspects of your life.
Q: Will anyone find out I’m getting help?
A: Your care is 100% confidential. We value your privacy and protect your information.
