Why Men Depress Women

A close, confiding relationship is the single thread that explains successful marriages and strong families. Marital intimacy can be facilitated through the self-disclosure of personal constructs.

Dr. Edward M. Waring’s experience as a psychiatrist taught him that most depressed women who consult a psychiatrist will be offered individual psychotherapy or antidepressant medication, but not a couples’ assessment. Individual psychotherapy may result in the relationship ending and ADM will not address issues of intimacy. Evidence suggests marital therapy may reduce depressive symptoms and improve the relationship.

Why Men Depress Women allows readers to understand why men depress women, evaluate their own level of intimacy, and consider a specific type of marital therapy or time for a better marriage.
