Here are some of the symptoms which are usually seen in the male:

  • Social withdrawal
  • Dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits
  • Strong feelings of anger
  • Delusions or hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not really there)
  • Increasing inability to cope with daily problems and activities
  • Thoughts of suicide
  • Denial of obvious problems
  • Many unexplained physical problems
  • Abuse of drugs and/or alcohol

Fears, panic, and phobias
Feeling struggling to deal with jobs you wouldn't have considered twice before
Sexual dysfunctions - decrease of libido, sexual drive, erectile dysfunction
Sleep issues - not being able to fall asleep, often getting out of bed and not being able to return to sleep
Becoming easily irritated and angry outbursts - you've got no spare potential
Trouble focusing - you probably cannot even read a page in a book

It may be stress, or depression or he could simply be having a mid-life crisis, you should ask him if there's anything he wants to talk to you about
