Male depression video

ABC Health & Wellbeing make available a series called Tonic, presented by Dr. Norman Swan.  In the most recent edition you can watch a 30 minute video, Male Depression : the hidden epidemic.  "Depression affects men and women differently, making it more difficult to identify and diagnose effectively in males. It's estimated one in six men will suffer from depression in their lifetime - and far fewer are treated."

Professor John Oliffe and Professor Ian Hickie provide the expert commentary, while men who have suffered from depression are interviewed about their experiences.  You can also read the transcript.
