Around ten percent of North Americans suffer from depression at some point - and more than half haven t even sought help. Now, Dr. Raymond DePaulo, one of the world s foremost authorities on depression, provides a sensitive, thorough, and reassuring book for sufferers from depression and those who care about them. This practical guide for individuals with depression and their families - the only totally comprehensive book in the market - shows readers how to identify the problem, then directs them to the various forms of treatment, including medications, psychotherapy, support groups, and exercise. It is one of the few books to discuss in depth manic depression, the bipolar form of depression. Dr. DePaulo discusses both mainstream (the latest medications and talk therapies) and alternative paths and reveals the truth about the dangerous fallacies that abound about depression. Comprehensive, compassionate, and grounded in the very latest research into brain chemistry, psychology, and medications, this is a definitive, landmark roadmap to one of the most devastating - and common - mental illnesses.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0471430307\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0471430307.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:DePaulo Jr., J.
