Reading the symptoms of dep. in men I see I have some of them. Drinking too much, irritability, lack of energy or motivation at times. I've outgrown the really bad part that I went through from 20 to 50 years. As I look back at my life it's just the way I've always been and I'll probably just continue on as I don't have much more than 10 years left. I have many stimulating interests that keep me active.
