THE BEST
I'm a therapist and lend this book out to clients who come for help with their depression. When a copy gets "lost" I buy another. Too many clients are feeling hopeless and wouldn't buy it for themselves on my recommendation, but reading just a few pages of this well written gem will convince them that there is much to learn and there is a path to getting well and feeling better. It maps out the steps to take. It's an easy read. It makes the process move much faster. Hats off to you John!

Maintain a realistic perception of your life and yourself
Clinical psychologist John Preston reveals that clinical depression differs from normal sadness in five distinct ways: depression is more intensely painful, last longer, interferes with normal day-to-day functioning, is destructive, and is often a cluster of symptoms involving problems in social interaction, behavior, thinking, and biological functioning. In You Can Beat Depression: A Guide To Prevention & Recover: 3rd Edition, Dr. Preston recommends a series of self- help actions to promote emotional healing when afflicted by clinical depression: accept that it is normal to have painful feelings; express your feelings to at least one other person; stay in contact with supportive friends and/or relatives; maintain a realistic perception of your life and yourself; engaging in problem solving which promotes growth. This guide will enable readers to recognize when and how to help themselves (and when to turn to professionals for treatment). Also offered is an up-to-date consumer guide to medications; material on the prevention of depression; brief therapy interventions, exercise, and other non-medical approaches. If you suffer from clinical depression, or know of someone who does, then give a careful reading to John Preston's You Can Beat Depression. Similar Products
