Not for light hearted reading but an eye opener all the same. If you have someone close you suspect may be in this situation, then this will be valuable reading. The video adds to the table too!

"Depression in men is often "covert depression". With covert depression, you don't see the disease, but instead see the footprints of the disease or the defenses a man is using to run away from it. We may see the self-medication, isolation or lashing out in anger. The self-medication may be drinking, drugging, or womanizing. It can even be expressed as a need to seek oblivion, such as obsessions with gambling or even just watching TV."

From the page: "Men are less likely to admit to depression, preferring to deny their psychological pains. Depression in men also is less likely to get diagnosed; the symptoms will be taken to have external causes, such as stress or grief, rather than the internal forces that give them clinical depression.

I think that this explains a lot. Most of those signs hit the mark unfortunately. I'm pretty good at masking depression though and most people would never know about it.

An important article that shines a spotlight on depression in men, their symptoms and reluctancy to seek help.

Good article on depression in men and how they're more reluctant to seek help.
