While certain groups of people may have greater risk factors for it, it can affect anyone.&nbsp;&nbsp;There appear to be fewer cases of male depression, but one of the reasons behind that is that fewer men seek help or receive an official diagnosis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons why men don\u2019t always officially get diagnosed with depression. Men are much less likely to seek-out help for mental health difficulties due to social norms, stigma, minimizing symptoms, and reluctance to talk.  Other times, men may not fully recognize the signs and symptoms of depression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depression can impact everyone differently. But, there are some \u201chidden\u201d symptoms that you should be aware of if you\u2019re feeling like you might be struggling. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the most common signs of depression and how depression may manifest in men.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-common-signs\">Common Signs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the symptoms of depression are the same for men and women. Not everyone experiences them, but they\u2019re some of the most common signs and often the easiest to notice. They include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Trouble sleeping<\/li><li>Fatigue<\/li><li>Feelings of extreme sadness<\/li><li>Changes in appetite\/weight<\/li><li>Difficulty concentrating<\/li><li>Loss of enjoyment in usual hobbies and interests<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice yourself experiencing any of these, and it is distinctly different from the way you normally feel, depression could be the reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/male-depression\/?tp_image_id=3113\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-art-artsy-278312.jpg?resize=150%2C100&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Men depression\" class=\"wp-image-3113\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-art-artsy-278312.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-art-artsy-278312.jpg?resize=150%2C99&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-art-artsy-278312.jpg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-art-artsy-278312.jpg?resize=1024%2C678&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-art-artsy-278312.jpg?resize=960%2C636&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-art-artsy-278312.jpg?resize=1320%2C874&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-art-artsy-278312.jpg?w=2160&amp;ssl=1 2160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some signs, however, that mostly affect men when it comes to depression. These can sometimes be harder to spot because they can show up as irritability, isolation, and substance use rather than sadness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-depression-impact-behavior-in-men\">How Does Depression Impact Behavior in Men?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men can respond differently to certain thoughts and feelings than women. When a man is dealing with depression, he may go through behavioral changes that include acting in (withdrawing inward), acting out (risk taking\/destructive behaviors), or becoming angry easily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men may also <strong>avoid relationships<\/strong> with friends and family, <strong>work excessively<\/strong>, and <strong>turn to substances like drugs or alcohol to cope<\/strong> with the way they feel. These behavioral response to depression are likely influenced by family rules and expectations, societal norms, or stereotypes of masculinity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-emotional-changes\">Emotional Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Men often experience emotional symptoms of depression, too. They often show up as <strong>anger, frustration, or irritability.<\/strong> Men express these emotions differently than women, and it could have to do with the fact that they aren\u2019t as open about when they\u2019re struggling. When men are depressed, they might feel secondary anger, especially if they think it is a weakness to not be in control of their own emotions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/male-depression\/?tp_image_id=3111\" data-pin-nopin=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/businessman-chairs-facial-expression-716411.jpg?resize=150%2C100&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Male depression loss of motivation\" class=\"wp-image-3111\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/businessman-chairs-facial-expression-716411.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/businessman-chairs-facial-expression-716411.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/businessman-chairs-facial-expression-716411.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/businessman-chairs-facial-expression-716411.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/businessman-chairs-facial-expression-716411.jpg?resize=960%2C640&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/businessman-chairs-facial-expression-716411.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.creativesolutionsonline.org\/rebuild-csbh-sit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/businessman-chairs-facial-expression-716411.jpg?w=2160&amp;ssl=1 2160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The mind and the body have a strong link. So, while depression causes emotional changes in men, it can also lead to things like a <strong>low sex drive<\/strong> and a <strong>loss of motivation<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-dangers-of-depression\">The Dangers of Depression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depression can be a dangerous disorder for anyone. But, it can often be even more dangerous for men who haven\u2019t received a diagnosis and help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because men generally tend to process the emotions of depression differently than women, the results can lead to more risks. As stated above, men can engage in more risky and destructive behaviors when dealing with depression. Thus, they may have more trouble expressing themselves in healthy ways,&nbsp; leading to thoughts of self-harm or suicide.&nbsp;<strong>Men have higher rates of suicide than women<\/strong> &#8211; some 3 to 4 times higher in western cultures. So, helping men become more comfortable acknowledging their feelings, recognizing the signs of depression, and engaging in help-seeking is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re dealing with any of the signs or symptoms listed here, it\u2019s important to get help as soon as possible. <strong>Depression is more common than most of us realize; can affect anyone regardless of their gender, race, or sexuality; and we need to dispel the false stigma that it represents weakness or inadequacy.<\/strong> Getting help doesn\u2019t make you weak. In fact, it makes you much stronger, more accountable and empowered in coping with life&#8217;s events and adversities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-contact-me\">Contact Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not alone in your struggle.
