Symptoms of Depression in Men

The symptoms of depression in men often show up in ways that people do not expect.  For example, clinical depression is more frequent among women than men.   Women have more suicide attempts than men.  But among those who attempt suicide, men are more likely to die from their attempt at suicide.   Depression should always be taken seriously because it has the potential of being lethal.   Not all people die from cancer, but it is nevertheless true that cancer can kill.  Not all people die from depression, but it is nonetheless true that depression can kill (via suicide).

So taking the symptoms of depression in men seriously involves understanding some of the sublte and not-so-subtle differences from the symptoms of depression in women.  In an article on another website, I discuss the symptoms of depression in men.

Choose Your Steps Wisely

Making life changes requires effort. It's as if we all have a stack of "effort chips" that we can spend on a problem.

People who say they have "tried everything" to change usually mean that they have spent all their effort chips on the problem.

The key is to spend your effort chips strategically. When you find leverage, the problem gets fixed before your effort chips run out.

The 12 skills are about spending your "effort chips" wisely.
