One sees it everywhere. The solution usually offered is to get on to medicines — and continue taking them all life. The author, Dr. Mary Stewart, looks at it differently. In the introduction she says,”Some people might tell you that once you’re depressed, you are lost and you must stay on medication. No, that is not true! Being depressed is merely a mood state, a process started from within the deep corners of your body and soul. As soon as you learn what went wrong, as soon as you can accept the current situations, it all gets better. Then, the only medication you need is staying focused on the things you can actually achieve, on the things that will drive you straight forward, closer to your goals.”With the above framework in the background, the author offers the solution in 8 chapters.Observations:*** The book is written against an excellent framework*** It gives a good amount of analytical detail*** It then offers numerous suggestions to overcome depression*** It also gives suggestions about how to remain out of depressionRecommendation:*** I would surely recommend it to my counselees*** A good investment for those who suffer from depression*** A good investment for those who are on the border of depression
