Episode 7: Mental Health in Men
Featuring Dr. Anthony P. Lussenhop, a Family Medicine physician at Alomere Health
Anyone can struggle with mental health, but men often face unique challenges when it comes to recognizing symptoms and seeking help. In this no-nonsense conversation, Dr. Tony Lussenhop breaks down the barriers that can keep men from getting the support they need.
Whether you’re dealing with persistent fatigue, trouble sleeping, or you just don’t feel like yourself, this episode offers practical insights into depression and anxiety—two of the most common (and treatable!) mental health conditions. Dr. Lussenhop explains why symptoms like these aren’t signs of weakness, but medical conditions that respond well to treatment.
You’ll walk away understanding the real symptoms to watch for (hint: it’s often not what you’d expect), how to take those first difficult steps toward getting help, and why seeking treatment is actually one of the strongest things you can do—for yourself and the people who care about you.
This conversation could change how you think about mental health, and more importantly, it might just encourage you to take action if you’ve been struggling in silence.
Listen now—and then call Alomere Health at 320-763-6000 or use MyChart to schedule an appointment with your primary care provider to get back to feeling like yourself again.
