A Comprehensive, Compassionate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Understand Depression Learn how life experience, genetics, and hormones factor into depression, and discover the common overlap between depression and other mental and physical illnesses. This book contains critical information about every available depression treatment - and those that are on the horizon-describing how antidepressants work, which treatments are worth taking, and which are useless... or even dangerous, when to consider psychotherapy, brain-stimulation treatments, mindfulness meditation, and exercise and what to expect from a therapeutic relationship. This evidence-based approach outlines the causes, impact, and treatment of depression and along the way provides encouragement that it can be overcome.
