I think it's critically important to point out that depression in men often has different symptoms and different treatments than depression in women, and many therapists seem to have been trained to mostly recognize symptoms that mostly women have, or that both men and women have, but not symptoms that mostly or only men have. See books such as: I Don't Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression, by Terrence Real; Unmasking Male Depression, by Archibald D. Hart; The Irritable Male Syndrome: Understanding and Managing the 4 Key Causes of Depression and Aggression, by Jed Diamond; Does Your Man Have the Blues: Understanding Male Depression & How It Affects Your Relationship, by David Hawkins; Male Depression, Alcoholism and Violence, by Dennis C Daley, Ihsan M Salloum, and Michael E. Thase; and The Pain Behind the Mask: Overcoming Masculine Depression by John Lynch and Christopher T. Kilmartin.
