Depression In Men

Depression in men is a tricky issue, because only 1 in 10 depressed people are male.

While the symptoms for depression are the same for women and men alike, depression in men seems to manifest in unique ways. For example, men tend to be less earnest with their emotional turmoil and more likely to deny they have a problem.

However, men are more inclined to discuss physical symptoms, like feeling fatigued, anxious, panic sticken or ill.

Depression in men can be a scary thing, because men are so much more unwilling to seek help than women.

Thus, they are at a greater risk of acting out in violence and if they suffer silently for long enough, they may even become consumed with thoughts of suicide.

So why is depression in men so different than depression in women? Each sex tends to battle emotional and physical problems differently, sometimes due to biology, and sometimes due to society.

It's important to understand that most men are given the message that being emotional and open to their own feelings is somehow a feminine trait.

This is why so many men hide their depression.

But there is hope! Depression in men and women can not only be treated, but cured. Many men can find the courage to confront their depression and change their lives with the help of a competent professional.

Another great resource that can open your eyes to seeing ways of living a better, more balanced and more fulfilling life, is the Leadership Series For Successful Living.

Dr. Marden's book “Cheerfulness as a Life Force” has an especially inspiring message, as it states that the man with a smile is a man who others want to be around and is thus a man who will succeed in life.
