Women are 70% more likely to report depression according to studies by both NAMI and SAMHSA. It is not that men do not suffer from depression. The case is depression is under-reported by men. In men depression is more likely to be expressed by violence, substance abuse, and suicide. My friends, depression is not weakness. Seeking help is not weakness. Being gripped by despair is not weakness. Whatever voices of inadequacy and hopelessness may haunt you, regardless of exterior trappings of success. You matter. Your life is of importance. For those of you who have never been in the clutches of deep depressive despair remember, we never know what challenges others are going through. NAMI reports 1 in 10 people in the United States will experience depression. That means, chances are, someone close to you is living with depression.
