Depression: Men suffer differently. Men often show unspecific symptoms of depression, such as irritable and aggressive behavior, which is why the diagnosis is made incorrectly or not at all in many cases.
Unlike a broken arm, a mental illness such as depression cannot be traced back to a single cause or trigger. Rather, it is the interaction of different influences that trigger a depressive episode. People can suffer from depression at any age, whether as a child or as an older person. The earlier it is detected, the lower the risk of serious consequences.
