Hi,I am male 70 years old and I find myself weeping whenever there is a sad situation that I observe or am involved in.  I believe it is hereditary because my father had similar symptoms as well as my older brother.Generally in good health and am active.It is particularly embarrassing when I am trying to tell a story that is sad or touches my hart.Any ideas
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I understand. I think you should not link your sadness problem with depressive disorder. Being emotional and being depressed are two different things. Emotions are part of bodies defense mechanism, and please do not try to alter it. Many emotions do alter themselves when you get experience in that area. In your case, you are already 70, and I believe you have enough experience in this area. Nothing unhealthy can happen even in the condition. So let it be so. Please do not worry and be obsessive. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http
