Book Description

January 2, 2001
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 illness

5.0 out of 5 stars There's not many out there--don't pass it by. May 26, 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I recently was in the home of a friend and picked up this book. It is a Christian book and is published by a Christian author--it is intended to be that. It sheds a lot of light on a subject that is not talked about in such a coherant and well-rounded way as in this book. I have struggled to understand the struggles of my family members and I have read several books in the past, but this book addresses several issues that I have been looking for information about...such as information about medication, what to do if depression is mild or severe, how you can help if you are a spouse, and though this may make some people uncomfortable how it depression relates to sex--because it does. I would encourage any wife struggling to understand her husband or other male family member's depression to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank You Dr. Hart November 3, 2006
Format:Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone in midlife should read - male or female! February 23, 2005
Format:Paperback
I strongly disagree with the person who thought this could only be of use to Christians. The Christian perspective does not dominate at all. The author has lots of counseling experience with men and knows what he's talking about! I've been separated from my husband for a year now and this book describes what I've been seeing for years, in him and in other men in their 40s. I've been reading lots of self-help books in the past year, including about verbal and emotional abuse, and this gave me even greater insight. Helpful information for both men and women.
