Men and Depression

Angry? Tired? Feeling hopeless? It’s ok, it happens to a lot of guys.

David has a great job, a nice home, and a loving family. Everyone thinks he has it made. But almost every night he comes home from a hard day’s work, has a few beers, and spends the evening on the couch. He’s bored with everything.

Bob blows up at the smallest things he gets so agitated in traffic that his face turns red, he punches the steering wheel and yells at other drivers.

Jim is exhausted every night when he gets out of class. He doesn’t hang out with his buddies anymore and hasn’t seen his girlfriend in weeks. He just sits alone in his dorm room watching television.

These scenes are common. Who hasn’t been frustrated with traffic, been tired at the end of the day or become bored with things now and then? We all have. But when feelings of irritably or sadness last for a long time, become overwhelming or start to interfere with other parts of your life, it might be a sign of something more serious: depression.
