June Is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month – Let’s Talk About Hormones and Mental Wellness
It’s Time to Talk About Men’s Mental Health
June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s more important than ever to raise awareness and start real conversations about the mental well-being of men in our communities.
Too often, emotional health is overlooked or minimized—especially in men, who may feel pressure to “tough it out” or stay silent about stress, anxiety, or depression. But mental health struggles are not a sign of weakness—they’re a sign you’ve been strong for too long without the right support.
At Hormone Health and Wellness of Colorado, we specialize in helping men feel better through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), and we’ve seen firsthand how hormonal imbalances can impact emotional wellness. This month, we want to shed light on the connection between hormones and mental health—and when it’s time to seek help.
The Hormone–Mood Connection: Why Balance Matters
Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They influence everything from metabolism and muscle mass to sex drive, sleep, and yes—your mood and mental clarity.
When key hormones like testosterone or thyroid hormones are out of balance, it can lead to significant emotional symptoms that look and feel like classic mental health issues.
Low testosterone (Low T), in particular, can lead to:
Low mood or mild depression
Lack of motivation
Fatigue and brain fog
Heightened stress or irritability
Sleep disturbances
Low confidence or feelings of inadequacy
A sense of being emotionally “flat” or disconnected
If you’ve felt like your emotional resilience just isn’t what it used to be, hormone imbalance could be playing a role.
Mental Health Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
Hormonal therapy can be life-changing—but sometimes, additional support from a licensed therapist or mental health provider is also needed. Mental health challenges affect 1 in 5 men, and being able to recognize the signs can make all the difference.
Signs that may indicate a need for professional mental health support include:
Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
Persistent sadness or anxiety that lasts more than 2 weeks
Sudden changes in appetite or sleep
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Withdrawal from family, friends, or activities
Loss of interest in work, hobbies, or sex
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
Increased substance use to cope with stress
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, please know you are not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help. Therapy, counseling, and sometimes medication can work hand in hand with hormone therapy to create a full-circle approach to feeling like yourself again.
When to Get Your Hormones Checked
If you’re struggling with emotional symptoms but also noticing physical changes—like decreased energy, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, or reduced libido—your hormones might be contributing.
You don’t have to figure it out alone. At Hormone Health and Wellness of Colorado, we provide comprehensive lab testing, individualized treatment plans, and ongoing support to help men regain balance in all aspects of life.
