Men Get Depression Too

Life is hard and it doesn't matter what sex you are... male or female... it's hard! Yes, a lot of men may handle things differently than most women. I know some men who won't even go to the doctor when they're sick.... they think they're too much of a man to seek help. So if some men won't even seek help for a cold, virus, etc.... do you think they're going to seek help for depression? Probably not. I'm afraid that's been going on... men not getting the help they need for depression because of the taboo topic in our society, especially for men. Why is that? I don't know but I was like that too.... until it got so bad and I had to ask for help or else. Unfortunately, not all men come to the point where they say, "OK I need help now," but rather take it into their own hands with devastating results. The ones I knew that took their own life this year were all men... grown, adult, well-educated men. So if you're a man dealing with depression... you are not alone!! If you know of a man who you think may be going through depression... let them know they are not alone! Let them know it's okay to seek help! Man or woman... depression doesn't care! Believe me, men get depression too!
