There is also the fact that men are less likely to talk about their feelings with other men/friends, whereas women are more forthcoming in discussing emotional issues. Sadly the gung-ho macho bullshit mindset still exists in many societies, and for a man to admit his emotional problems openly lays him open to criticism, or fear of being perceived as weak/inadequate or unmanly. This is why so many men turn to alcohol or drugs as a coping method.
