Are you depressed, or are you suffering from depression?

Everybody feels low sometimes. However, that's not the same as suffering from depression. Unlike normal sadness, clinical depression lasts for weeks, months, or even years. If your life has permanently changed and you feel like you have lost yourself somewhere along the way, it may be depression. Depression is a real illness. It has to be treated correctly.

Before diagnosing depression, it's important to rule out any other possible reasons for these symptoms. Some physical illnesses, such as thyroid problems, brain tumor, and Parkinson's disease, create a similar picture. That's why your doctor will want to check your physical health first. Once you are diagnosed with depression, the treatment can begin.

Although things may seem utterly black to you, you should know that you are not alone. Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in the world. Fortunately, it's also one of the most treatable conditions. There is hope, the healing is possible, and you don't have to live with depression forever.

In this depression workbook for adults, we will define several types of depression, such as major depression, persistent depressive disorder, psychotic depression, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is not actually a form of depression, but it's included here because a person who suffers from it experience alternates between episodes of mania, extremely high mood, and depression.

You will discover:

• Who can suffer from depression
• Why does depression happen
• How does depression affect your life
• What depression feels like
• What is a treatment of depression, including psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy
• The ways of self-help for depression
• How to never become depressed
• Prevention
• And much more

So, don't isolate yourself and suffer in silence. Reach out for help because healing is possible. You don't have to live in a cage of pain for the rest of your life. You can get your life back, and this audiobook is here to help you. This world is a magical place. You just forgot it. What you need is to remind yourself of that. Don't give up.

So, sit back and relax.

Helpful.

If you have ever struggled with depression, you will see yourself in this book. Great audiobook, very insightful and helpful for all who suffer from depression or for those trying to help others.

A great to find basic help.

A great to find basic help. Language is very simple to understand. I liked this audiobook.

Such practical advice.

Get to the core of the problem. Tell it like it really is. Acknowledge the issues you have, and we all have them. This audiobook has a lot of help for people that are not necessarily struggling with depression, but it can be as a basic educational resource for everyone who wants to know more about depression — giving a lot of practical instruction. Everyone can benefit from such practical advice.

A very important and helpful book.

This audio book helped me. It contains lots of real information that you can immediately use, and it is presented clearly and simply -- easy to access. These things are crucial when you are depressed and trying to find help. I am highly educated and understand many things, but in a recent too-long episode of deep clinical depression, I found it hard even to read at all, so I listened to the audio version. And this book really gave me some help. So I highly recommend it. If you're depressed yourself, just read one page at a time. If you're reading it for someone else, it will really give you things you can use.

While listening to it,

While listening to it, I didn't know that others felt the way I was feeling, but it was all right there in the book. An extremely well-written and narrated audiobook with lots of things to consider if you are depressed yourself. It made me feel very well understood and it never felt like a slap in the face. It also has an excellent section for friends, family, and significant others to understand and help aid depressed people. If you're struggling right now just try to listen/read as you can, and I think you'll definitely get something out of it.

I really enjoyed listening to this book.

I really enjoyed listening to this book because it was, interesting, helpful, and the author had some very good points that can be useful not only for sufferers from depression but for everyone to prevent it.

Excellent!

Excellent! This audiobook is for a depressed person, a counselor, a family member or friend. Thanks for clearing up what is and is not depression, and making clear a very cloudy subject.

I loved it!

Short and to the point, a starting point. I have listened to many books on anxiety and depression. This is one that I love. It is a short audiobook but packed with useful information. I recommended this book to my friends who struggle with anxiety and depression. I loved it!

I found particularly helpful.

NOD.An excellent guide to understanding how depression becomes ingrained and infused within thinking/emotions/behavior; a useful short audiobook on understanding how to break the spiral and what to do... The terminology in this book helped me finally give a name to the things I deal with. Having the words to communicate both in therapy and with those who support me, I've been able to make strides I wouldn't have otherwise.
Forever grateful for this book. What I found particularly helpful was to underline all the practical suggestions, continually reread, and slowly trying to habituate a new way of addressing thoughts and feelings.

Useful information.

This is an excellent audiobook for motivated laypersons. Excellent common sense, easy to understand, inspiring book for those experiencing depression and/or professionals prepared to try something different to get something different for their clients. I highly recommend it.
It has tremendous potential for effectively addressing depression in the context of waking up to one's life potential.
