What is depression?

 

Depression in men

 

Depression is a loaded word in our culture. Many associate it, however wrongly, with a sign of weakness and excessive emotion. This is especially true with men. Depressed men are less likely than women to acknowledge feelings of self-loathing and hopelessness. How is depression expressed in men? Frequently, it comes out in more “socially acceptable” forms. Anger, aggression, reckless behavior and violence, along with substance abuse, can be signs of an underlying depression. You might hear complaints about fatigue, irritability, sleep problems, and loss of interest or sudden excessive interest in work and hobbies. Even though depression rates for women are twice as high as those in men, men are a higher suicide risk, especially older men.

btw, magkano po ba ang rates sa pagpacheckup sa doctor handling these case?

I had some problems a few years ago when my marriage ended. I sought help and was advised to take regular exercise. I didnt have the time or confidence to take up the gym or do any other routine exercise but decided to walk to and from work every day, instead of driving. It took a few weeks but I got much fitter and had a much better frame of mind as a result.

Be a volunteer in any religous group activities. You'll meet a lot people there. Some of them have a caring group where you can have lots of friends you can trust. If they have weekly prayer/bible study meeting try attending. :huh: You don't have to go through life feeling alone with various problems. There are millions of people out there. Some of them are sometimes going through the same feeling of depression. Its more of being brave enough to reach out to someone, even ask for help. :rolleyes:
