Understanding Male Depression

This article actually does a shit job in talking about depression in men. I know more about depression in women, but I've done a decent amount of research on depression in men. Because men have higher testosterone levels, depression has been shown to often come across as anger instead of sadness. A lot of men are completely unaware that they are depressed because they don't identify with the recognized symptoms, but they know that something is wrong with them. If you know someone who has become incredibly irritable and is just generally angry at the world, please, please, please refer them to a psychiatrist.

Male depression is a serious condition, though it’s unlikely most sufferers will seek support.

Lack of potassium can also affect moods.
