Book Reviews of Unmasking Male Depression: Recognizing the Root Cause to Many Problem Behaviors Such as Anger, Resentment, Abusiveness, Silence, Addictions, and Sexual Compulsiveness
Book Review: Thank You Dr. Hart
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Christian. If you are not a Christian please, please buy this book and just ignore the "Christian" references. The research and conclusions are valid and helpful regardless of your particular faith (or lack of it!).
I am not only a Christian but, more importantly for this review, I am a deparessed male who's symptoms did not match the traditional diagnostic characteristics of depression. This book points out why. Male depression generally presents different symptoms than female depression. This is confusing because most clinical studies and subsequant literature about depression has been based on research that centered on women.
Dr. Hart explains that, for most depressed women, anger and other related emotions are turned inward against self. In most depressed men, however, anger and other related emotions are turned outward against others . . . especially those who are in emotional relationships such as a wife or girl friend. For many depressed men this anger can be expressed in yelling and arguing and blaming (as in my own case) or, more seriously, in physical violence.
I am convinced by my own experience (and interaction with other men who suffer from depression) that many men who are in need of "anger management" are actually suffering from depression (sometimes enhanced or triggered by alcohol or drug abuse). If you are a wife, girl friend, child or parent of an angry male I urge you to read this book and share it with him. I would also encourage you to acquire William Styron's "Darkness Visible--A Memoir of Madness." These two books helped me tremendously to accept the fact that I actually was suffering from depression and to motivate me to get professional help for it.
My wife is glad I did.

Summary of Unmasking Male Depression: Recognizing the Root Cause to Many Problem Behaviors Such as Anger, Resentment, Abusiveness, Silence, Addictions, and Sexual Compulsiveness
Depression is a secret pain at the core of many men's lives, and one that goes largely undiagnosed and untreated. The consequences of not treating male depression are extremely serious. Studies show that suicide is more common in men than women, and tha the male suicide rate is three times higher at midlife than at any other life stage. In Unmasking Male Depression, Dr. Archibald Hart explores the many forms of depression and gives tools for coping with and healing depression in men. Hart also examines the lives of Christian leaders who struggled with depression, such as Charles Spurgeon, Martin Luther, and John Calvin, to reveal the myths surrounding this illnessDepression Books
