comprehensive and easy to understand

Depression is a gender-specific illness, striking twice as many women than men. This book defines clinical depression, cites different types of depression, and gives a complete listing of both the pharmaceutical and psychological therapies currently available to help those with this debilitating disease. I especially appreciated the real-life examples from various women who were undergoing treatment as well as a very easy to read breakdown of the different antidepressant drugs. This book demystifies depression and brings to focus the importance of seeking help.
