Loss of Control: Experiences of Depression in Thai Men

Abstract:

In comparison  to  Thai  women,  Thai  men  do  not  seek  care  or  treatment  for  depressive  symptoms.  The  literature  on  men  with  depression  reports  that  depressive  symptoms  are  viewed  as  unmasculine. However,  little  is  known  about  how  Thai  men  experience  depression.  This  qualitative  study  aimed  to  understand  how  Thai  men  understand  having  a  depressive  disorder.  Twenty-one  male  patients  were  recruited  from  a  psychiatric  out-patient  clinic  and  a  university  hospital  in  northeastern  Thailand.  The  patients  lived  with  major  depressive  disorder  for  at  least  one  year.  Data  were  collected  by  in-depth interviews and were tape-recorded. Data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed by content analysis. Six themes emerged which  were  related  to  masculinity:  (a)  a  loss  of  control,  (b)  feeling  upside-down,  (c)  personal weakness, (d) a lack of understanding, (e) social isolation, and (f) a wish to lean on something. The findings are discussed in the context of existing research on depression in men and within the context of  masculinity.  Recommendations  for  future  research  on  male  depression  and  implications  for  clinical  practice with men are presented.
