Have you done any reading on male depression? I'm not a big believer in over doing the "studying" when it comes to our sitchs (I'd rather see someone spend the time digging deep into themselves) but a certain amount of it does breed compassion and understanding. Once you achieve those you are in a much better place to make choices.
Look forward to hearing more.... PEI
