(Daily Mail) It seems love isn’t lovelier the second time around – getting married again may actually make men more depressed.
Divorced men who remarry are nearly a third more likely to be prescribed antidepressants than those who remained single, research has revealed.
The study, reported in the journal Social Science and Medicine, looked at more than 200,000 Swedish men born between 1952 and 1956.
The men were then tracked up to the ages of 54 and 58, and their marital status and medical records compared.
By 1985, when the men were all aged around 30, 72,246 had been divorced.
The researchers then compared depression rates in those who stayed divorced and those who remarried.
