Suffering in Silence (article for Depression Alliance)

Depression Alliance is the leading UK charity for people affected by depression. I recently wrote an article about why men find it difficult to talk about depression and anxiety for their magazine, Single Step.

Single Step Magazine can be downloaded here. 

My article can be found in the Winter 2016 issue.
