How is it possible in the country leading the world in medical science, one in four men have a disabling illness that torments them and their families and most never receive treatment for it?

Men of all ages, ethnic origins, and walks of life get depressed…so why don’t men look for help?  They may feel weak or ashamed - that it’s not "manly" to feel sad.  Men Get Depression is a public awareness campaign that will help men and their families dealing with depression understand they are not alone. 

Getting help for depression can make a big difference in your life and in the lives of those who love you.  Men Get Depression will show you how to get started.
