What's the difference between just feeling miserable and being depressed?
Everybody has times in their lives when they feel down or depressed. This is usually for a good reason and does not last for a long time or take over your life. However, if these feelings go on for a long time, or become very severe, you may find yourself stuck, utterly unable to get out of the depression. This is what doctors call a depressive illness. Some people suffer from manic depression (also called Bipolar Affective Disorder). They have periods of bad depression, but also times of great elation and overactivity. These can be just as harmful as the periods of depression.
What are the signs and symptoms?
If you are depressed, you will probably have several of these signs and symptoms:
Psychological Symptoms:
Unhappy, miserable or depressed. These feelings just won't go away. These feelings will often be worse at a particular time of day, often first thing in the morning.
Unable to enjoy anything
Unable to concentrate properly
Guilty about things that have nothing to do with you
Physical Symptoms:
Unable to get to sleep, waking early and during the night
Uninterested in sex
Unable to eat
Losing weight
Other people may notice that:
You are performing less well at work
You seem unusually quiet, unable to talk about things
You're worrying about things more than usual
You're more irritable than usual
You're complaining more about vague physical problems

Why is depression different for men?
The way that men think about themselves can be quite unhelpful. Compared with women, they tend to be far more concerned with being competitive, powerful and successful. Most men don't like to admit that they feel fragile or vulnerable, and so are less likely to talk about their feelings with their friends, loved ones or their doctors. This may be the reason that they often don't ask for help when they become depressed. Men tend to feel that they should rely only on themselves and that it is somehow weak to have to depend on someone else, even for a short time.
This traditional view of how men should be - always tough and self-reliant - is also held by some women. Some men find that owning up to their depression actually results in their partner rejecting them because of this. Even professionals sometimes share this view, and may not diagnose depression in men when they should.
