How men feel depression

Both men and women get depressed. But men may be more likely than women to:

• Feel very tired and irritable.
• Lose interest in their work, family or hobbies.
• Have difficulty sleeping.

Depression is a real and treatable illness. Yet men are often reluctant to talk about how they're feeling or to seek help. Don't ignore your feelings.

Get help.
