Depression is seen as a sign of weakness and excessive emotion, which is why women are seen as the gender more prone to it.
This is the reason why a depressed man is perceived, even by himself as weak, effeminate, and ineffectual sometimes.
This is the main reason why a depressed guy is a lot less likely to acknowledge or seek help for depression.
Admitting to feelings of self-loathing and hopelessness, men think, would make them seem weak, or might affect their machismo.
A depressed guy would rather complain about physical symptoms like irritability, fatigue, sleep disorders, rather than admit to emotional symptoms like feelings of inadequacy or sadness.
Although a depressed man is much more unlikely to admit to such depressive symptoms as sadness, worthlessness, and excessive guilt, or to seek help, depression is not an uncommon problem in men.
In the United States alone, an estimated six million or more men suffer depression every year.
A depressed man often goes unacknowledged and untreated because seeing a mental health professional is a sort of a taboo.
Going to a mental health clinic, they fear will result in people finding out about their mental problems, which in turn would have a negative impact on job security, promotion potential, and health insurance rates and benefits.
A man also does not want to be labeled as someone with a mental illness because he fears he would then lose the respect of his friends and family.
He fears the impact of such a diagnosis on his standing in the community.
Rather than acknowledging his feelings, or asking for help, a depressed man may seek to hide or overcompensate, by turning to alcohol or drugs.
He might become frustrated, angry, irritable, and violently abusive, or show excessive aggression, and reckless behavior.
Some deal with their problems by engaging compulsively in work, while others begin to take excessive risks, and put themselves in harm's way in order to cover feelings of helplessness.
Four men die of suicide in the United States to every woman who kills herself.
Since suicide is frequently associated with depression, this high suicide rate in men shows how much less likely a man is to seek treatment or even obtain an adequate diagnosis.
