When ‘advising’ someone suffering from depression, avoid invalidating phrases that minimise their feelings, or blame them. Depression is a medical condition not a choice, and the person should not be made to feel guilty or dismissed.

Depression among teenagers can present differently to those experienced by adults. What are the emotional and behavioural signs of teen depression? The list is extensive so if signs are presented, don’t assume that your teen necessarily has depression, but make an appointment with your doctor for a professional consultation.

According to Mayo Clinic, prostate cancer affects 1 in 7 men. It mostly affects older men, and as early-stage prostate cancer has no symptoms, an annual screening is highly recommended. Later symptoms can include trouble urinating, decreased force of stream, blood in the urine, sexual dysfunction, painful urination or ej*******on, or a persistent dull pain in the hips, back or
thighs.

How do you check for testicular cancer? Mayo Clinic advises a monthly self- exam in a warm shower as it relaxes the sc***um and makes it easier to feel

changes. Gently roll each testicle between your thumb and finger, checking for pea-sized lumps, changes in size, shape, or consistency or unusual pain or heaviness. If you have any doubts, please visit your doctor.
