According to Harvard University graduate and psychologist Olesya Luraski, men with depression immerse themselves in work, have angry outbursts, abandon hobbies and ignore communication on social networks. reports Daily Mail edition.
The psychologist noted that the classic symptoms of depression (difficulty concentrating, sleep problems and constant melancholy) are more common in women. According to Luraschi, men with depression tend to “mute” sadness and apathy. They are also characterized by the desire to isolate themselves, refusal to use social networks, limited interaction with family and friends, workaholism and loss of interest in favorite activities.
Although women are nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression as men, many psychologists and psychiatrists believe that many cases of depression in men go undetected. Men are less likely to seek help and express their negative feelings in a “socially acceptable” way, namely through aggression, Luraschi added.
Doctors at the American research and medical center Mayo Clinic believe that women are much more likely than men to experience hormonal fluctuations associated with the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. These fluctuations, caused by changes in the levels of the female sex hormone estrogen, affect mood, self-confidence and the ability to concentrate.
Men have less estrogen and more testosterone in their bodies, which can conversely encourage aggression and impulsivity.
