Depression was classified as an extremely unpleasant psychological illness relatively recently, not even a century has passed.
It is unlikely that there has ever been or is a person who has never encountered this problem, especially since this condition does not depend on either the strength of the spirit or the strength of the muscles.
Depression is always a conflict of interests, often of the same person, i.e. there are not many external stimuli.

Why men suffer from the consequences of depression more often, will be explained by the expert of the portal "MOS SMI" on issues of astrology, esotericism and psychology Elena Gutyro .
Denial of illness
This will not surprise anyone, many people with various illnesses, and not only psychological ones, will tell the doctor until the end that everything is fine with them, they just need to rest.
But when the disease has already progressed to its final stages, it is much more difficult to pull a person out of the clutches of the disease.
Unwillingness to understand the cause of one's condition
In principle, it ties in with the thesis above. Rare is the person who would agree to talk at least with friends about psychological problems because they are ashamed.
This false shame makes them lie that everything is fine, but the problem will not go away without working through it. And men are also panicky afraid of going to specialists.
Holy faith in medicines
You know all these catchphrases: “But my dad’s friend took antidepressants, and everything went away,” “But my mom’s friend poured apple juice on her head in the morning, and everything went away,” and other nonsense from “qualified specialists.”
Medicines may help ease feelings and anxieties at some point, but they cannot cure them.
