Depression symptom can differ for men and women

Depression symptoms can differ in men and women. Men tend to use different coping skills 

Like women with depression, men with depression may:
  • Feel sad, hopeless or empty.
  • Feel very tired.
  • Have a hard time sleeping or sleep too much.
  • Not get pleasure from activities usually enjoyed.

Other behaviors in men that could be symptoms of depression include:

  • Problems getting along with others, including your spouse or partner and other family members.
  • Escapist behavior, such as spending a lot of time at work or on sports.
  • Physical symptoms, such as headaches, digestive problems and pain.
  • Problems with alcohol or drug use.
  • Controlling, violent or abusive behavior.
  • Irritability or anger that gets out of control.
  • Risky behavior, such as reckless driving.
