Clinical depression can cause sadness and a loss of interest in once pleasurable activities. While the symptoms used to diagnose depression are the same regardless of gender, often the chief complaint can be different between men and women. Fatigue: People who are depressed undergo a series of physical and emotional changes. They can experience fatigue, as well as psychomotor retardation, or a slowing down of physical movements, speech, and thought processes. Sleeping too much or too little Sleep problems such as insomnia, waking up very early in the morning, or excessive sleeping are common depression symptoms. Stomachache or backache Health problems such as constipation or diarrhea, and/or headaches and back pain, are common in people who are depressed. Irritability Instead of seeming down, men who are depressed often show signs of irritability. Often talk about an emotional component, as well as negative thoughts are a common aspect of depression. Difficulty concentrating Psychomotor retardation can slow down a man’s ability to process information, thereby impairing concentration on work or other tasks.
