"In this volume, Psychiatrist Martin Kantor explains that depression in men regularly appears in response to minor troubling issues that may be entirely overlooked by others. In this jargon-free text, Kantor explains how men are often able to navigate the big stresses successfully, only to succumb to the little ones. And he challenges the current widespread tendency that views depression in men as a strictly biological event to be treated first and foremost with pharmaceuticals." "With absorbing vignettes and insights into a culture that urges men to have a stiff upper lip and shun medical attention, Dr. Kantor shows the unique ways in which depression is very much a men's disorder. And he helps us understand what we can do to treat it, to help ourselves and others recover."--Jacket.
