Product Description
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

I returned this book, a first for me with Amazon. I would have given the book 0 stars but that is not an option in the ratings program. The data base for this ‘research’ is christian males. This is not a book that most of us can relate to. The book doesn’t unmask anything except christian males are depressed. The book information needs to say up front that it is all about people who center their lives around the church. If you’ve got a fish on the back of your car-buy this book, if you don’t, don’t it won’t help you.

Dr. Hart is an Evangelical minister, he says so in the forward, there are entire sections of the book you can skip if you are not Christian (Depressed males in the bible, and was Jesus emotional), but there’s better information than in “I don’t want to talk about it”. There’s real tratment options and sypmtomology, things your doctor should be looking for. It doesn’t quite make suggestions for what questions you should ask your therapist, or psychiatrist, (Depression Fallout DOES do that though!)
Now it was published in 2001, there are new Anti-depresseants out now that aren’t mentioned, new treatments that weren’t being used yet when it was initially published. It’d be great if Dr. Hart could update it and republish it without the religious claptrap, or do two versions, one for the Xian male and the one that is strictly clinical.

I was very dissapointed with this read. The tone and diction for the book came across as overly religious, while the grammar is off-key and at times annoying(exclamation points come early and often). I never questioned the author’s sincerity or background on the subject, but found myself putting it down after only a few short sessions.

This book deals with depression in an honest manner. It segments the differences between female and male depression and makes things obvious as to the differences It is a good investment !

I tried to read this book, but the constant references to the “christian male” made it difficult to feel as if it was pertinent. I feel this book should be specifically shown to be a book for someone with christian beliefs, because it is useless for those of us with other spiritual paths.
