In today’s society it isn’t hard for people to become depressed due to the current economy, especially men.

Some men actually talk themselves into a depressed state, simply by constantly thinking negative thoughts.

Some even look for others to blame for the perceived loss or failure.

Learn from your experiences and move forward, life is to short to dwell in the past.

Regardless of what happens in your life be part of the solution, not the problem!

I apologize for taking so long to reply to this comment. Somehow I approved it and then lost track of it.

I’m not a professional and I’m not in a position to speculate on your father’s depression. I’m sorry to hear his life is so bad and that you are estranged.

At the outset of the post above you will find a link to a scientific study. Depression is a disease with a genetic component. Researchers have found that those with a family history of depression have brains which are, on average, 28% thinner in the area of the right cortex compared to those with out familial history of depression.

Since I was a kid I always see him drunk and coming from work loud and sometimes hitting me and my big brother. And yes, he can easily turn anyone into a punching bag and never feel remorse doing it. Now I’m in my adulthood I asked him why he’s too violent and alcoholic eversince and until now. He said that when he was a teenager, some gangs of men cornered him and knocked him to the ground. Could it be a depression too brought from traumatic experience? Now he’s in his late 60′s, separated from my mother, still a drunkard and doing punching-free…can it still be called depression or misery? I am not in speaking terms with him, he never listens anyway.

As you can see from the statistics I included in this article depression is a serious disease. Don’t deny yourself medical attention. See a doctor soon and do what you have to do to establish the correct chemical balance.
