Publisher's Synopsis
"If you are trying to understand how depression affects men, you need to read this book!" -AMAZON REVIEWER
Recently, Christopher Scott Downing documented his failed attempt to overcome depression without doctors, therapists, or medication. The result is a Mr. Fix-it caper gone absurdly wrong. It's hilarious at times, deeply personal, and ultimately eye-opening. Finally, it's a wake up call to men -and their loved ones- who misunderstand depression or are commonly resistant "to talk about it."
"The book is exceptionally well-crafted and compelling." -onlinebookclub.com
Written in a strong, concise style directed towards other men, this memoir is beginning new discussions about Major Depressive Disorder by exploring these questions:
- What do men experience under depression?
- How does depression manifest in men uniquely?
- Why do many men refuse help with this treatable disease?
Veteran psychologist Steven J. Hanley, Ph.D. provides the wonderful, thought-provoking foreword.
