There was a really great article recently in Time or Newsweek called "Men and Depression,"
That is a great article. My H brought it home for me a few weeks ago and said he saw A LOT of himself in what many of the men had talked about in their own lives. Depression in men is not necessarily severe sadness, but like you said, irritability, anger, impulsiveness, risky behaviors (hmm...like running away from a M, having A's, etc) Lots of MLC behavior they say is just a way for men to deal with their depression. If they actually received treatment for the depression, maybe they wouldn't make such horrible choices. And in Cemar's case, maybe he wouldn't feel so helpless/hopeless.
