Anger and Depression in Men:

"Empirical evidence supports the proposition that for many men anger accompanies depression. For example, in patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, compared to women, men were twice as likely to experience anger attacks during depressive episodes (45). In a community sample of men (n = 499), anger was correlated with depressive symptoms (r =0.57) with the effect strongest in those who identified with extreme masculine gender norms (33). In a sample of 102 men who had experienced a stressful life event, a moderate correlation was reported between depression and externalizing (r = 0.32) indicated by 11 items including having a “short fuse,” punching something, or yelling at someone."
