History supports Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's recent tweet saying that men have a hard time asking for help for their depression.
But new research brings good news: Men really do think it's important to seek help.
Participants in a national survey read a scenario describing someone who had depressed symptoms. Among other things, this hypothetical person has difficulty sleeping, can't concentrate and doesn't feel happy even when good things happen.
The survey then asked participants to rate the importance of getting help from friends, family members or religious leaders. Men overall rank this as a 7.7 on an importance scale of 1-10, which is surprising because that ranking is just as high as what women said to the survey.
