If You Think You Have Depression Read This Book

When I first saw this book, I was very skeptical. A small paperback of 211 p.p. retailing for $5.50? How much information could it possibly have? The answer: A LOT. This book not only covers the signs, symptoms and treatment of depression, it does it comprehensively and concisely. It is presented in the format of answers to frequently asked questions. The section on antidepressant medication is amazingly thorough and up to date. Side effects are dealt with in an honest, up front manner. And it even offers suggestions on how to alleviate sexual side effects, a subject most books on the subject downplay or completely ignore. Almost every conceivable form of treatment and therapy is touched on. It includes a glossary of medical terms and an appendix of resources and supports. Alternative therapies and self-help suggestions are not neglected. This book is a neat little resource for those suffering with depression as well as physicians, therapists and social workers. I have never seen such thorough and up to date information in so compact a format. Easy to read and to understand, this would be a highly recommended first book for anyone looking for a good education on most aspects of this disease.
