Can Men Get Depressed?

Most certainly, although studies have shown the females are more likely to become depressed than males. The majority of males that become depressed are new immigrants to a country and work extremely long hours to save enough money to transport their families to their new country. However, there are a lot of new and unfamiliar things that are alien to the new immigrant. They have left their customs behind and have adopted a new life.. It is usual when the family come to join the man, they are uncomfortable and refuse to let go of their customs placing undue stress upon the male. The relinquishing of ones morals and values and custom is like giving up an addiction cold turkey.
