the most common problem with male menopause is depression.but men deny that they this this kind of problem because they are supposed to be "strong". agree or disagree?

i agree! most men will not see it in themselves since their most basic psychological defense is denial.

constant communication is very important. psychotherapy is an excellent way to fight menopausal/andropausal depression.

st.john's wort is a treatment for mild to moderate depression. this product has minimal side effects than anti-depressant medicines.

start with the laughing cure.laughing provides us with the natural inner massage, and through change of mood it can account for up to 30% of cure.

take folic acid. this is a B vitamin that is often deficient in people who are depressed.

i agree mimi, but although this is proven to be safe, one must still talk to his/her doctor before taking any herbal remedies to treat depression or other conditions.

male depression is a serious medical condition. although men are said to be that they are less affected by depression, this assumption may not be entirely true.

certainly! because no matter it's a male or female depression, it's still depression we're talking about and it affects us all physically and emotionally.

depression can affect anyone, at anytime. it doesn't just affect the person himself/herself, but the love ones of the depressed people will be affected as well.

you're right about that liezl. has anyone here heard someone committed suicide because of depression? this are common cases for male.

justine - September 24th, 2009 8:06 PM

hahahaha... suicide huh? i don't think so! i don't think male depression could lead to something serious like this.

may-anne - September 25th, 2009 4:18 PM

the majority for commiting suicide are those for men and that is a fact. men with depression are more likely to die by suicide than are women with depression

lindsay - September 30th, 2009 12:16 AM

i strongly agree! depression puts men at risk for suicide.

irene - October 16th, 2009 4:17 PM

depression and suicide in men is not uncommon. i'm talking about men in general, of all ages...
