Product Description
Product Description
Is there any end to the cycle of relapse, hospitalisation and medication for sufferers of depression?Drs Michael Corry and Áine Tubridy believe there is.In this hard-hitting new book, Corry and Tubridy present a revolutionary new perspective in which they assert that depression is an emotion, just like fear, anger or love, that can be consciously influenced, rather than a disease which can only be suffered. This new theory has enormous implications for the traditional treatment of depression. It puts the sufferer back at the centre of a more individual and tailored approach to healing and raises serious questions about the medical communitys focus on medication as a primary treatment.Depression speaks both to those experiencing depression and to their families. Its aim is to: offer hope and understanding; equip sufferers with the resources to buffer them against future setbacks; end the cycle of relapse and remedicate; provide effective ways to create a new identity for the sufferer, rooted in self-acceptance and empowerment.

Format:Paperback
I have read lots of books on depression and mental illness but this one is so practical, down to earth and true to life it is as if the authors were able to get right inside your head. It is written so sensitively and demonstrates so much understanding I defy anyone affected by depression not to read it and feel relieved and have a lighter heart as a result.
Excellent stuff that should be prescriptive reading for every health professional, so that inappropriate comments and solutions are no longer offered. A fantastic resource for both doctor and 'patient' alike.

A really great read and wish I had known about this book years ago. The authors give an in-depth description of the various types of depression and how a person can recover without always taking the drug route. It all makes perfect sense and all trainee therapists should read this. I highly recomend this book.
