Men and women are different- so it makes sense they would get depressed differently as well. Here is an interesting article on men and economic change.
Male depression is expected to become a factor for more Americans in the coming years because of growing social and economic pressures.

I can’t stress it enough that depression is treatable. Especially with the right medications. If you are a guy with depression, you have different pressures than women. Find a male therapist if that will work better- talk to other guys who are depressed and read books by men who have managed the illness.
