Male Depression Symptoms may be Ignored by Most Men

Whether you are male or female, depression is a serious disease. In males, depression brings on different symptoms than in females. While female depression may make a woman feel sad and emotional, male depression can bring on symptoms of anger, aggression, hostility, and irritability. Society often pressures men to ignore the symptoms of male depression. However, any time that a man suffers from depression, it is definitely not wise to “tough it out.”

In addition to becoming miserable, isolated, and withdrawn, male depression can lead to serious consequences such as alcohol abuse, drug abuse, risky activities, and suicide. Other common coping strategies of male depression include compulsive overwork, reckless driving, risky sexual behavior, criminal behavior, and shutting oneself off from the outside world.

Unfortunately, there is no coping strategy that will cure male depression. Since many men believe that sadness, hopelessness, and mental illness are signs of weakness, males will deny or hide their depression until a tragic event forces them to get help. Instead of waiting for a disaster, men and their loved ones can watch for the warning signs of male depression and seek treatment immediately:

  • Feeling down, sad, worthless, and guilty
  • Sleeping poorly and fatigue
  • Anger and violent behavior
  • Frustration
  • Loss of interest in hobbies, career, sex, and other pleasurable activities
  • Alcohol and drug abuse
  • Headaches, digestive disorders, and other chronic pain
  • Suicidal thoughts

If not treated promptly, male depression can also lead to significant health problems. The chronic stress of male depression is believed to cause heart disease in some men. Studies have shown that men who suffer with male depression have double the risk of dying from any cause, compared to men without depression. For reasons that are not yet understood, the risk of death in male depression is greater than the risk of death in female depression patients.
