Men aren't allowed to suffer from depression, it's seen as a sign of weakness to many...especially the older generation. My wife suffered from depression and it's no laughing matter, she just didn't wanna do anything and wasn't the bubbly, happy go lucky woman I married. Luckily she managed to 'get rid' of it but it took nearly a year of medication, talking, doctors appointments etc. It's a serious issue that gets ignored far too often
