Marilyn L 4445 8857 Ventur...	Symptoms Of Depression In Men 7/11/2006 4:37:02 AM
	Depression—once thought of as a woman's disease—is appearing more frequently in men. Nearly 20 million Americans suffer from depression each year; over six million of these sufferers are men. Male depression may include symptoms not normally thought of as the classic symptoms associated with depression. As a result, depression can be difficult to recognize in men, and doctors may be less likely to suspect depression as the cause of a man's complaints. In addition, men may not be willing to admit that they are feeling depressed. SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH MALE DEPRESSION: Using alcohol or drugs to self medicate Working excessively long hours Watching excessive amounts of television Becoming irritable or angry Becoming violent to himself or others Creating conflict Acting overtly or covertly hostile CLASSIC SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION: Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" mood Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed, including sex Decreased energy, fatigue, being "slowed down" Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping Appetite and/or weight loss, or overeating and weight gain Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts Restlessness, irritability Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain Two-thirds of people who suffer from depression do not seek help. It is crucial, however, that depression be diagnosed and treated—untreated depression has been linked to suicide. Of those who seek treatment, 80% experience significant improvement and lead productive lives. Marilyn L. Ali

	Thanks for this Marilyn, Been there done that. Never again. It comes from an unfulfilled want or desire that is often selfish. I have always found that the best solution to get over this feeling when it starts is to go do something good for someone. David

	Hi Marilyn! Being on disability and having to spend a lot of time indoors I can understand about being depressed. If it was not for my loving wife I would have lost it a long time ago. I truly think that depression cannot be taken care of on one's own. Love, understanding and the company of an other can really help!

	Hello Linda, I don't know about people "fitting" that description, but depression is a very serious illness, and something that should not be taken lightly. Thanks for your comments, Marilyn
