“…Contrary to earlier suggestions about the role of masculinity norms, depressed men's hesitation with seeking help may not be related to an inability to recognise the symptoms of depression or to a lack of knowledge of sources of help but to public sigma (McCusker & Galupo, 2011) and to self-stigma (Hoy, 2012;Klineberg et al, 2011;Latalova, Kamaradova, & Prasko, 2014 (Coppens et al 2013) and this leads them to associate help-seeking with loss of control over their lives (Vogel & Wade, 2009). In turn, this discourages depressed men from recognising the significance of their symptoms and from seeking professional help about their condition (Möller-Leimkühler, 2002).…”

AbstractThe lower reported prevalence of depression in men has been related to depression not being as well-recognised in men as it is in women. We sought to understand the clinical under-recognition of depression in men by reviewing some of the key evidence on male depression, concentrating on practices in the UK. Additionally, we aimed to draw conclusions that would contribute to the improvement of health promotion and of the diagnosis for male depression. Our perusal of the available evidence has revealed that some depressed men experience significant difficulties not only in disclosing but also in identifying their depression and that men often exhibit atypical symptoms such as anger. Furthermore, depressed men are often involved in attempts to self-manage their depressive symptoms. This stoic approach compromises the wellbeing of depressed men and it discourages them from accessing appropriate support resources. We conclude with suggestions for practice and research.

“…Es decir, que es posible que existan importantes diferencias en la expresión del afecto entre hombres y mujeres deprimidos, variaciones que determinan los síntomas, la severidad del trastorno y, por tanto, el tipo de intervenciones efectivas. Para diversos autores, los hombres con depresión cambian frecuentemente de pareja y son promiscuos debido a que buscan experimentar nuevas sensaciones (Álvarez & Londoño, 2011;Fuss et al, 2010;McCusker & Galupo, 2011) y pretenden demostrar que conservan la capacidad sexual y el arrojo necesario para involucrarse en situaciones prohibidas (Broom & Tovey, 2009;Kilmartin, 2005;Watkins, 2011).…”

“…Los hombres parecen tener una predisposición a inhibir emociones displacenteras a través de la búsqueda de sensaciones extremas como volcarse en el trabajo, abusar de drogas, tener sexo sin control o cometer delitos (Angst, Gastpar, Lépine, Mendlewicz, & Tylee, 2002;Beutel, Glaesmer, Wiltink, Marian, & Brahler, 2010;Fuss et al, 2010;Hölzel, Härter, Reese, & Kriston, 2011;McCusker & Galupo, 2011;Strömberg et al, 2010).…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio era el objetivo de la presente investigación comparativa es identificar los síntomas específicos de depresión en hombres y determinar si existe un sesgo diagnóstico en los criterios incluidos en el sistema DSM y CIE. Para ello se estudia una muestra clínica conformada por 156 hombres y 174 mujeres entre los 18 y los 65 años, con diagnóstico previo de depresión, y un grupo control compuesto por 149 hombres y 151 mujeres sin depresión. Para evaluar depresión se usó Cuestionario de Depresión en Hombres (CDH) y la Entrevista MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview). Para los análisis psicométricos se empleó el Modelo de Rasch desde la Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem y análisis comparativos multivariados. Se concluye que los hombres se deprimen de forma significativamente diferente de las mujeres y que parte de los síntomas identificados no son considerados en los sistemas nosológicos vigentes.Palabras clave depresión; hombres; masculinidad; síntomas. ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to identify if there are symptoms of depression in men who are not described in diagnostic manuals available. This clinical sample comprised 156 men and 174 women between 18 and 65 years prior to diagnosis of depression, and 149 men and 151 women without depression used as controls is studied. To evaluate Depression Questionnaire Depression in Men (CDH) and Interview MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview) was used. For psychometric analyzes the Rasch model was used from the Item Response Theory and multivariate comparative analysis. We conclude that men are depressed significantly different from women and that some of the symptoms identified are not considered in the current nosological systems.

“…Concerning gender differences in psychotherapeutic interventions, an anti-male vision of psychotherapy can be noted in men (Englar-Carlson, 2006), meaning that they consider men that seek help due to depressive symptoms to be more feminine (McCusker & Galupo, 2011). The gender role schema theory hypothesizes that cultural influences shape an individual's model of masculinity and femininity and potentially guide what are considered "acceptable" and "unacceptable" enactments of gender (Bem, 1981).…”

Depression has a high prevalence in the general population, especially among women. There is no consensus in the scientific literature about differences between men and women in the manifestations of depressive symptoms, nor about psychotherapy indications according to gender. This research aimed to verify differences in depressive symptoms and symptoms improvement between young adult men and women with current Major Depressive Disorder and to identify differences between two brief Cognitive Psychotherapy models. Randomized clinical trial in which participants were randomized between: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Cognitive Therapy. Depressive symptoms pre and post-intervention were evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. The sample was composed of 25 men and 95 women. Genital symptoms and insight were significantly different between genders. Concerning improvement in symptoms according to the psychotherapy model, CBT presented a trend toward being more effective in men. Therefore, the symptoms and improvement in depressive symptoms are manifested differently between genders.Keywords: symptoms, depression, gender, young adults, cognitive therapy Sintomas Depressivos e Relação entre os Gêneros: Diferenças em Adultos Jovens de um Ensaio Clínico RandomizadoResumo: A depressão apresenta elevada prevalência na população geral, especialmente entre as mulheres. Não existe consenso na literatura científica a respeito de diferenças das manifestações de sintomas depressivos entre homens e mulheres, bem como, quanto à indicações de psicoterapias conforme o gênero. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar as diferenças na sintomatologia depressiva e melhora dos sintomas em homens e mulheres adultos jovens com Transtorno Depressivo Maior e identificar as diferenças entre dois modelos de Psicoterapia Cognitiva. Em ensaio clínico, os participantes foram randomizados entre: Psicoterapia Cognitivo Comportamental e Psicoterapia Cognitiva Narrativa. A sintomatologia depressiva pré e pós intervenção foi avaliada pela Hamilton Depression Scale. Participaram do estudo 25 homens e 95 mulheres. Os sintomas genitais e de consciência foram significativamente diferentes entre os gêneros. Quanto à melhora dos sintomas de acordo com o modelo psicoterapêutico, a PCC apresentou uma tendência a ser mais eficaz entre os homens. Sendo assim, é possível observar que a sintomatologia e a melhora dos sintomas depressivos manifestam-se diferentemente entre os gêneros.
