A solid guide to recovering from depression
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Depression is not about feeling bad. After all, everyone feels bad from time to time. True clinical depression happens when you feel bad all the time for a long time. This level of depression colors the way you think and feel about yourself and everything else in your life. And, one of the most devastating symptoms of depression is that you believe you will never get better. This short, easy-to-absorb book by Dr. Tony Bates gives an overview of depression, its causes and cures. He recommends a holistic approach to recovery through the use of medication and psychotherapy. Bates also outlines a simple plan including recognizing and challenging your negative thought patterns, reducing stress, keeping a journal and tackling small achievable tasks. Other books cover different aspects of this illness in much more depth, but even so, getAbstract recommends Bates's guide as a useful introduction to the subject.
Excellent!
