Executive summary

Depression in men is under-recognised, under-diagnosed, and often manifests differently in men than in women. Men are less likely than women to seek help, more likely to externalise symptoms (e.g., aggression), and self-medicate (e.g., alcohol abuse).

The Centre for Male Psychology is committed to advancing evidence, improving clinical practice, and influencing public discourse on men’s mental health (Centre for Male Psychology, 2021). In this position statement we recommend a male-centred approach to understanding male depression. We hope that this document will bring about a change in how we research, treat, and talk about men’s depression.

1. Introduction and Rationale

Women are around twice as likely to be diagnosed with severe depression than men are (Albert, 2015). This disparity has, understandably, led to a focus on depression in women rather than in men across Western and non-Western cultures. In recent times, there has been a growing belief that depression in men is under-recognised, under-diagnosed, and often manifests differently in men than in women (Talarowska et al., 2018). Traditional diagnostic approaches may miss male-pattern depression, leading to misdiagnosis or no diagnosis (Zierau et al., 2002).
