Synopsis This book is a great introduction to depression for readers who may be unsure about whether someone they know is suffering from the disease. Harold H. Bloomfield and Peter McWilliams dispel any doubt that depression is, in fact, a disease, not laziness or the sign of a weak mind. According to the authors, depression is the result of a neurochemical imbalance that produces a strong emotional response to negative thoughts that, in turn, only adds to the vicious cycle of neurochemical imbalance. This would be an ideal book to slip into the library of anyone who might be suffering from the disease but is not quite ready to admit it. An easy-to-read guide, written in an contagiously optimistic style, it covers everything from recognizing the illness, to choosing a form of therapy, to moving on into a new and better life.
