I discovered my own depression at 42.. well, I “named” what I seem to be feeing. I was more relieved than alarmed. I’m 61 now. I’m now wondering how different my life may’ve been had I sought treatment back then. What I’ve experienced, I guess, is a life lived built upon coping constructs.. when seen altogether, now that I think about it, may look like a building designed by a madman. Interestingly, during that period, I managed to flesh out a life free of any self-medicating behaviors, living ‘pristine’ of any substance transgressions including food abuse. I cry regularly in fits associated with thoughts of beauty, art, spiritualism, nobility, and the like.. still, aware the thing you refer to as depression is related. I now wonder is there a normal ‘blue’ state of mind short of depression, that allows for processing empathy with misery, misfortune, and sadness of others around me? Answering my own question (as I often do in my coping solitude), I’d think the line would draw at being able to remain objective of the misery of others. In the end, if asked ‘do I feel depressed?’, I’d answer “..probably, but.. is that a bad thing?”

I’m learning more each day regarding Depression & Bipolar Disorders within my self as well as my spouse . We are both aware of the problem and sucessfully following doctors orders and counseling,taking our meds daily as prescribed in order for them to work. Soul searching praying and holding on to each . We love and care for each other very much and promise to work hard at rebuilding our relationship. We won’t neglect the tale ,tail signs since we are fully aware of them. Thanks for mainstreaming this problem for it does exist in both men and women.

I want to applaud you all for addressing the issues of black male depression… I facilitate a clinical practicum seminar for masters level students in clinical psychology. Several of female students have have become activist purposed with bringing this into the attenton of the mainstream. We have neglected and ignored our men/boys long enough.
