I noticed you put the word depressed in quotes. I don't know what you think of when you consider the word depression. In my case, my mind tends to automatically go to the idea of staying in bed all day with one's head under the covers.
But there's more to depression than that. Men in particular tend to act differently when they're depressed. I tend to score high on tests for depression. But I get out of bed every day, get cleaned up, & do whatever I need to do. Sometimes I do even more than I needed to. Here are links to 3 articles, from PC's archives, that (hopefully) may help to shed some light on this subject. The first is by DocJohn:
