Synopsis
Depression is a widespread problem that affects 10 to 15% of the world's population (another 10 to 15% of whom commit suicide). Mary Ellen Copeland has suffered from depression herself, and peppers her study and instruction with stories of her own suffering and triumphs. Through the use of worksheets to track mood changes over time, as well as instruction on the development of peer support groups, exercise, and relaxation techniques, she paves the way for victims of this ailment to learn how to prevent debilitating mood swings. Most vital is a questionnaire guide to help diagnose manic depression in oneself, an often difficult task. This most common of mental illnesses is harder to tackle than we might assume, and Copeland handles the job with a mix of sensitivity and no-nonsense counsel. For those ready to take responsibility for managing their moods, this book may prove a godsend.
