Link – How Men Experience Depression Differently Than Everyone Else

“It’s estimated that 6 million men in America deal with depression in a given year, a disorder that can be managed with the right treatment. But experts say many men may not even recognize or acknowledge they have it, whether it be fear of judgment or mistaking their physical and emotional symptoms for another illness or just excess stress.

In honor of Movember, the November awareness month dedicated to men’s health, we rounded up just a few ways the condition can manifest differently in guys. Check out some of the symptoms below.”

This is important. Often when I see people talk about how much more often women are dealing with depression, I’m assuming they don’t quite get this fact. Depression in men looks different, and isn’t diagnosed correctly often. Check the article and think about how many men have anger issues or other things that may be a result of undiagnosed depression.
