But is this explanation actually true? Men are depressed because they’re being told to “man up” and not being cared for?

This is the explanation that’s so casually thrown around, yet nobody actually examines it. To me, it seems completely off.

Men need to feel useful, they don’t need to feel cared for. Men aren’t women. Men are depressed because they feel useless, not because they need to cry more and be treated with more sensitivity. That’s how I see it.
