Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Depression & society: My view is more that society sees depression in a negative way, especially for men. I'm sure media can glamorizes anything that sells, including mood disorders, substance use, abuse of any sort. I encourage you to continue clarifying your own values and stick to them. Peace and good health.
