best wishes to her and a speedy recovery.

Yeah they do, and actually it is possible that men get more depressed than women, because typically they internalize everything and don't let out their emotions.  Unfortunately, just like they don't ask for directions; they don't usually voice that they are depressed.  I remember my Dad was depressed for many years after my mother died (16 to be exact), but he wouldn't do anything about it until I started nursing school and explained to him about the chemicals.  Finally when I told his doctor, the doctor gave him an antidepressant which he started to take shortly prior to his passing away.

go figure

However, then you have the opposite like my uncle Julius,  when his wife ask him "What are you thinking"  he answers  " If I wanted you to know I would tell you"   and the fight begins.

lol, it has been awhile since we heard an uncle Julius story.  I always enjoyed them.

Uncle Julius, is coming over within 2 weeks..... and he promise me that he would not drink no more than 3 tall drinks a day, we shall see~

I really have to lol to this.................he says no more than 3 tall drinks a day...............well I have a glass that is 32 oz, so do you have glasses that size too?  He can get REALLY drunk with only 3 tall drinks a day. (LOL)  I would be passed out if I did that!

Back to the topic   Men get deressed all of the time, it's how they keep themselves bottled up that is the problem.

it is sad that uncle Julius is so depressed

I am surprised that he hasn't done the things that your greatgrandmother has told you about
