MEN EXPERIENCE CHRONIC DEPRESSION DIFFERENTLY
When men experience chronic depression, technically known as “Dysthymia,” they may not be aware they are depressed. They will experience a “grayness” to life that strips meaning, purpose, and joy out of living. Most men will be able to function in their day-to-day lives, eventhough feeling disconnected from it. Group therapy is an effective treatment for men because it builds on deep need men have to be known and heard.
The Happy Warriors therapy group emphasizes both reduction of symptoms and development of coping strategies. It is limited to seven men and meets twice per month. The group meeting in-person in Franklin, TN. To join this group, men need to be screened for group fit and depression history. If you think this group might be a good fit, conact Randy Cook.
