A thought provoking piece. I think the problem is that girls tend to talk more openly about how they feel where as boys tend to keep things bottled up. Maybe because they think it makes them appear weak. The truth is unless a person whatever their gender is brave enough to reach out for help and share their feelings nobody will know that they need help. I think this is an important subject you have raised because as you point out men get depressed too. Best wishes Milly x
