The Hidden Causes of Depression: 5 Things Your Doctor Never Told You About [GoodMenProject.com]

I’ve taken medications to help relieve the hopelessness, irritability, and lack of energy that plagued me. In 2004, I wrote a book, “The Irritable Male Syndrome: Understanding the 4 Key Causes of Depression and Aggression” that gathered the information I had discovered in 35 years as a psychotherapist.

But since then, I’ve learned something new about the hidden cause of depression and have written a book about it. I’ll tell you more in this article. (If you’d like a preview of the new book coming out in June, drop me a note at Jed@MenAlive.com and put “new book” in the subject line.)

Let me tell you a little more about my own experiences. I’ve always been successful in my professional life, but my personal life has been challenging. I met my first wife in college, fell in love, got married, and we had two beautiful children. The stresses of work, combined with the stresses of raising a family, contributed to us growing apart, and I became more irritable, angry, and depressed. We tried therapy, but we continued to drift apart and eventually divorced.
