Dealing with Depression:
I got this for my daughter who deals with depression and anxiety. I am glad I did. She said it was a big help to her. So I would definitely suggest it to others.
Practical followup to Dummies books on Depression and Overcoming Anxiety:
This is a practical step-by-step workbook with checklists and exercises to help identify the root of the problem, gain new understanding of it, review possible courses of action, and develop a wide range of coping skills and positive habits. It offers a hands-on approach to manage depression and anxiety and reduce emotional distress. I highly recommend this book.
Not the"Dummies" book to start with:
In hindsight, I wish that I had started with the "Anxiety for Dummies" and the "Depression for Dummies" books first. I found that in my condition of extreme anxiety and depression there was much to high school like work to be studied over. The authors probably meant it to be set up this way, on ways to deal with your mental conditions after you understand them. So I blame myself for jumping straight into the "Workbook" phase which I found to be quite tedious under my current condition.
