| Popis: | The aim of this study was to search for and make a systematic review of the literature published on the issue "male depression" in the Brazilian scientific databases LILACS and SciELO Brazil, from 2003 to 2013. It investigates whether and how the study of masculinities has contributed to this field. We used eight gender descriptors and nine mental health/depression descriptors. LILACS returned 1378 articles and SciELO 386. The articles that have not dealt with depression as the main focus were discarded, as well as those that studied depression as a result of physical illnesses. Only 17 articles have fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Fifteen of those used quantitative methodology including psychometric tests; and 14 of them aimed at comparing male and female epidemiological data. Among the main factors associated with depression reported at all age groups analyzed (youth, adults and older populations) are low level of education, social class, unemployment and marital status (not having a partner). Predominantly depression has not been analyzed taking into account the studies on masculinities and race/ethnicity. Besides, only two of the surveys conducted interviews with men pointing, therefore, the invisibility of qualitative research and pauper number of research that listen to men. This study contributes with pointing out this gap. |
