That's sad. Hope you knew what was pressing his mind all those time. And if has help now, then he should be fine. Depression is a slow poison. I guess men get depressed often because they are brought up saying Boys shouldn't cry. That could be the reason for the bottled up feelings.

Yeah it was because of his divorce. I never saw him cry, true that men get depressed easily since they were raised with a myth not to show themselves as being a weak person to the outside world!
