Beating Depression: The Complete Guide to Depression and How to Overcome It: At Your Fingertips Guide
Author: Stefan Cembrowicz, Dorcas, Kingham
Publication info: Class Publishing March 2006
ISBN: 1859591302
Depression is a universal illness: we are all potentially at risk. The symptoms vary wildly, but can include sleeplessness and loss of drive, feelings of guilt and anger, and even the desire to self-harm. However, depression is extremely treatable, and this easy-to-read book offers a thoughtful and straightforward guide to self-help techniques and possible treatments.
Beating Depression starts with the basics. It first answers real questions about what, who and why, then objectively explains all the available treatment options. It also covers the practical aspects of the illness, such as choosing your doctor, claiming benefits, and dealing with work.
This reassuring guide gives you medically accurate answers to questions from real people; techniques for dealing with common symptoms such as insomnia, agitation, panic and apathy; advice about antidepressants, other medications and alternative forms of therapy; guidance on related problems such as anxiety, phobia, stress and OCD; details of where to look and go for further information and support.
'A sympathetic and understanding guide.'
Marjorie Wallace, Chief Executive, SANE
'An easy to read, jargon free book that will help to lead you out of the maze of depression.'
