Their mental state

“Men are less likely than women to express emotional vulnerability,” explains psychotherapist Will Courtenay, PhD. If men fight depression, they will most probably hide every sign of it and even try to convince themselves that everything is fine.

Sometimes, it can be difficult for men to accept or even recognize that they have some sort of problem because the symptoms of depression in men can look different than in women. Depressive men can have more anger episodes and be more aggressive unlike women with depression who are extremely sad and emotional, explains the National Institutes of Mental Health.
