#450 The Real Story of Men and Depression

The National Institute of Mental Health has launched a campaign: “Real Men, Real Depression.” For far too long this issue has been ignored or swept under the rug. And many men say, “I Don’t Want to talk About It.” That’s the title of the best selling book by Terrence Real, subtitled “Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression.” Terry will share his insights and help us understand how to recognize the sometimes subtle signs of depression in men. He will also explain why men often feel bewildered, unappreciated, and betrayed in their marriages and what couples can do to address this issue. In addition, Dr. Dennis Charney joins us. Dr. Charney is Chief of the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at the National Institute of Mental Health.
