Does Depression Affect Men Differently?

From biology and hormone levels to emotions and means of expression, God created men and women uniquely. So it would follow that the depression affects men and women differently...

Men Are More Likely To Women Are More Likely To Accuse others, feel angry, and display agitated behavior Show lots of guilt, feel worthless and overwhelmingly sad, and cry frequently Hide their depression behind withdrawal or a façade of bluster Openly express their despair and hopelessness Cope through substance abuse, TV, sports obsessions, or extramarital affairs Cope by pouring themselves into friends, food, or romantic books & films and more and more

Instead of grouping men and women together, Dr. Gary Lovejoy addresses the unique needs, concerns, emotions, and questions men often desire to know when struggling with depression in this Scripture-based 112-page book. Dr. Gary Lovejoy shows men how to avoid common roadblocks to recovery and explains the characteristics, causes, and symptoms of depression in an easy-to-understand way, resourcing the Bible, over 30 years of counseling experience, and proven strategies.
