The Best Male resource on depression I ever read June 16, 2009
William R. Dallas (New Jersey, USA)
There are many resources about depression. Unfortunately, most, if not all, are geared toward women. This targets men as the subject of the book. It's written in a no nonsense style that's easy to read and I couldn't put it down easily until it was finished. I highly recommend it to anyone...depressed or not!!

Unmasking Male Depression January 19, 2007

This may very well be a good book for every male to read, except those who are happy, content, and never have anything in life disrupt those attributes. :) It may also be instructional for every woman married to one of those men.

This is an easy read, and although it has scriptural underpinnings, it should not by discounted by those with agnostic or atheistic beliefs. It is easily palatable to those with and without religion as part of their lives.

I highly recommend it!

Evangelical January 10, 2007

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.

Not what I expected December 28, 2006

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.

Thank You Dr. Hart November 3, 2006

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.
