Can Men Get Depressed?

Imagika gave this response on 5/5/2000:

Yes... actually men are more likely to be depressed (though few seek treatment as often as women). Actually, although women have the highest suicide attempt rate, men have a higher success rate, which some theorize means they were more intent on killing themselves than women... hence more depressed.

I'm a Manic Depressive woman who knows an awful lot of depressed guys, so men can and are definately prone to depression.
