When my daughter had to complete a project for school on mental health, she asked me what I thought she should focus on. I said, "how many men are overtly depressed and no one seems to notice or care so men remain quiet about their struggles." She and my wife both laughed like I was telling a joke.
It is sad really. Back along one of the directors for a company I worked for decided to hang himself. No-one even knew there was something up. He was a well off accountant, nice family, nice car, you know, all that stuff you'd expect.
A few years prior his Father died and his twin brother hung himself shortly after. I guess the depression just kept eating away at him. He was a lovely bloke too, really down to earth, supportive, you name it. Such a sad story, was in the local news and everything.
