Depression is becoming increasingly common as stress levels increase and our coping skills are overwhelmed. Men and women often experience depression differently. Women often “act in” their unhappiness and become sad and withdrawn. Men often “act out” their unhappiness and become angry and blaming. Women are far more likely to get help because they reach out to others. Men are more likely to suffer in silence and push others away. As a result the suicide rate for men is 4 to 18 times higher for men than it is for women. If you think you, or someone you love, is depressed take the quiz.
