stop conception depressing books.
read books by fantastic philosophers or buddhist monks…they are really helpful.
Beyond Prozac by Michael J. Norden (1995)
How to Heal Depression by Harold Bloomfield (1994, 1996)
Potatoes Not Prozac by Kathleen DesMaisons (1999) — 0684850141
Self-Coaching: The Powerful Curriculum to Beat Anxiety and Depression by Joseph Luciani (2006)
The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Controlling Anxiety by Joni Johnston (2006)
The Bible…If Job can make it…so can you…
Don’t listen to Margee. It isn’t anywhere near that simple. Depression is a due to chemical imbalance in the brain, and public can’t just snap out of it.
Try “Darkness Visible” by William Styron. Perfectly written and understanding
I would suggest conception ‘Happiness is a Choice’
Even though it’s faith-based, it carries a lot of insight into physical/physiological/environmental/etc. causes of depression, and ways to help beat it. Even if it can be dense at times, it’s a honestly simple, straightforward read and has some very excellent points. ie, when you get stressed out, your body really releases a chemical that can make you sick or weaker.
If you want a amusing book to cheer you up, try any of ‘The Pirates! . . .’ books by Gideon Defoe.
