A friend linked to a good article on some healthy ways to address this, focused on women's helth, but much of it is applicable to men as well.

I can't read it, I was interested though. Maybe you could give me the highlights?

The folk treatment for suicidal depression is to keep the patient busy and never let them be alone. A friend of mine has theorized that the traditional 12-day Yuletide festival, with at least 12 days of preparation for it, functioned as a massive suicide prevention effort, keeping people busy and together during the darkest and therefore most dangerous three weeks or so every year.

Huh! I never thought of it that way, but yeah, that would be a good group-therapy sort of thing to do, all infectiously excited and busy together.
