The reason? Most guys would rather admit to anything other than what they feel. For many of us, it’s just not part of our DNA.

I’m not saying this is true for all males. But in my experience as a counselor specializing in men’s issues, this trait applies to many men.

What follows are 10 things men do that make their depression worse. It goes without saying that many of these actions apply to all genders. I’m listing the biggies, however, for the guys.
