Comments for "Senior Depression: Resources"
I have been following your series and it’s been wonderful and informative. When I grew up, no one talked about depression
Awesome, man
Nice..nice post.
my husband suffers from depression but won't get help. I am going to show him what you wrote. I hope he lets me get him the help he needs. sometimes i think men are more prideful than women and don't want to admit that something might be wrong. Especially since the majority of his life has been trouble-free. thank you for the thoughtful post.
CJMT,
I’m glad you stumbled across our blog. I’ve known many people with depression in my lifetime—some younger people, some older adults, some women, some men. All of them shared one thing in common: a fear of being labeled. No one wants to think they’re defective, and I agree that it can be particularly challenging for men. As a gender, broadly speaking, men tend to see depression (or mental struggles in general) as the ultimate confession of weakness. Coming to terms with the reality of depression isn’t easy for anyone. I hope this series sheds a little light for your husband so that the “trouble-free†time needn’t end.
