Men and Depression Presentation Transcript

Slide 1 - Men and Depression Research and clinical evidence reveal that while both men and women usually experience many of the same standard symptoms of depression, they often differ in the way they express or show these symptoms Otherwise: severity, course, duration rates of recovery and recurrence response to treatment Men = Women
Slide 2 - Incidence of Depression Conventional wisdom = women are about twice as likely to report being depressed Current thought = we don’t know the true incidence of depression in men because they are much less likely than women to recognize, acknowledge, and seek help for depression
Slide 3 - Why depression is different for men Traditional Masculinity Men are socialized from early childhood to be: Strong Successful Capable of handling problems on their own Able to restrict their emotions and deny pain
Slide 4 - Why depression is different for men Men tend to feel that they should rely only on themselves and it is somehow weak to have to depend on someone else Men are less likely to talk about their feelings with their loved ones, friends, or their doctors
Slide 5 - Depression: Gender Differences
Slide 6 - Depression: Gender Differences Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus Chapter 3: Men go to their caves and women talk “Men go to their caves to solve problems alone. If he can’t find a solution then he does something to forget his problems …” When faced with stress:
Slide 7 - Depression: Gender Differences Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus Chapter 3: Men go to their caves and women talk When faced with stress: “Women seek out someone they trust and then talk about it …”
Slide 8 - Depression: Gender Differences Feminine Depression direct expression of feelings “acting in” behaviors (crying, insomnia) Masculine Depression (1) disconnection from feelings (2) “acting out” + (3) externalized behaviors (lashing out) There is an overlap between male and female expression of depression
Slide 9 - Depression: Gender Differences Disconnection from feelings = “crawling into the cave”: Withdrawal from relationships – family/spouse/coworkers “I can do it myself syndrome” = “I’m not lost, I can find my own way” Neglect of personal physical/emotional (health) needs “Emotional numbing”  limited ability to verbally express emotional distress I don’t know what I’m feeling!
Slide 10 - Depression: Gender Differences “Acting Out” behaviors = doing something to “forget” their feelings: Preoccupation/obsession with work or sports Overeating Gambling Alcohol/substance use or abuse Internet addiction Shift in interest in sex – increase or decrease Reckless, risky behavior  accidents These behaviors have in common: mood buffers, escapes, distractions, or self-esteem enhancers
Slide 11 - Winston Churchill Winston Churchill referred to his depression as his “Black Dog.” He attempted to chase away his depression with compulsive overwork and large amounts of brandy*. * Historians have never considered Churchill to be an alcoholic
Slide 12 - Depression: Gender Differences Externalized behaviors (“lashing out”): Emotional bullying Angry/irritable/argumentative  increased conflict with others Perceived threats to self-esteem blaming others focused on failure as provider/protector Some forms of violence and domestic abuse
Slide 13 - Depression: Gender Differences Because the depressive origins of “acting out” and “lashing out” behavior is not well understood, these behaviors are often seen as “character flaws” (being a “jerk”) rather than symptoms of depression – and solutions are often punitive and misguided.
Slide 14 - Depression: Gender Differences Accepting Help Precipitating factors or events: Loss of a significant relationship Loss of employment or role status Coercion by a third-party – spouse, partner, employer
Slide 15 - Summary Depression is more than unhappiness affects the entire family in most cases it is a chronic, relapsing illness Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale or Whooley Questions for screening Depression is often masked by somatic symptoms 20 + antidepressants – they all work Fluoxetine (Prozac) is probably best choice during pregnancy if definitely not breast feeding Sertraline (Zoloft) is probably best choice during pregnancy if breast feeding Zoloft and Paxil appear safest during breastfeeding
Slide 16 - Summary Taper SSRI/SNRI to avoid discontinuation syndrome Remission of depression is goal of treatment 2-4 different drugs or combinations may be required substitute if no response by 6 weeks Treat for 6-9 months after remission for first episode two (or more episodes) – treat for 2 years (or more) Psychotherapy has similar efficacy to drug therapy for mild/moderate depression
Slide 17 - Summary Fathers are vulnerable to peripartum depression Fathers can be a significant resource in preventing, treating, or buffering the consequence to children of maternal peripartum depression Fathers can become depressed for the same reasons (and different reasons) that mothers become depressed Men tend to significantly differ from women in the way they express depression
