Got the Kindle version yesterday - and have already read chapter one, and am well into chapter 2 right now! I have learned (or have been reminded of) a number of things.

Though I can say that most of my depression has completely lifted at this time, it is something I've tangled with on and off for most of my life and I suspect it will rear its ugly head again (though I sure hope not!). I really like New Harbinger books. I already own more than one of them.71º & Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981113989131619635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-60269150453968043112012-06-14T19:57:50.197-04:002012-06-14T19:57:50.197-04:00Thanks, Janet.

He stresses the importance of having a medical check-up to make sure there are no physical illnesses causing the depression.

Just to know that I would get better, and to get ideas on how I could manage the symptoms even before the treatment kicked in--that would have been a huge benefit.Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-31623707714442334082012-06-14T12:46:19.561-04:002012-06-14T12:46:19.561-04:00I think it is.

I think I would have so appreciated this book when I was depressed because I didn't have a lot of information and was truly in despair when my first treatments didn't work. It may even be a book that would be good for me to read as a refresher on how to keep depression at bay. It isn't easy to do those things, those lifestyle changes and what not when your deep and down under but if push through & you do the stuff you don't feel like doing, eventually the depression lifts. That is always the great message, one that both this book and your blog has gotten out there which is that there is help and depression can be overcome.
