I think men are afraid "face". Men have to show their strong and tough to the other people. Even they have depression, they can't let the other people know. Men have to control themself. If they want to cry, they have to cry in their room.
Depression disease is becoming a fearful problem,especially for men.It is a kind of mental disease, so it is very hard to deal with it by doctors. Men should take care themselves more, and decrease the pressure from work, study, and family. Since it is really hard to do, men mush complete it.
