WISCONSIN UNITED
for MENTAL HEALTH

You may have heard that women have Depression much more often than men.  Although true, this statement can downplay the plight of the many men are suffering with Depression.  Depression is a serious but treatable medical condition that can affect anyone, including men. In America alone, more than 6 million men have depression each year.

Whether you're a company executive, construction worker, writer, police officer, or student; whether you are rich or poor; surrounded by loved ones or alone; you are not immune to Depression. Some factors, however, such as family history, undue stress, the loss of a loved one, or serious illnesses can make you more vulnerable.

"How is it possible in the country leading the world
in medical science, one in four men have a disabling illness
that torments them and their families and most never receive
treatment for it?"
