Synopsis

Recommended as part of the Books on Prescription Scheme by Irish Psychologists and GPs This book has been written for all who suffer from depression and for those who are close to the depressed person, be they partner, child or friend. The effort to alleviate the pain of depression in a loved one inevitably fails and the most well-intentioned interventions of friends and spouses can leave all concerned feeling helpless and alienated. While intended primarily as a guide to recovery for the sufferer, it is also written with the relatives and friends of the sufferer in mind in the hope that it can make sense of what can be a difficult problem to grasp from the 'outside'. Understanding of the problem by all who are affected can act as a bridge between people who feel isolated by depression and those who care about them. Part One explains what happens when someone gets depressed and what kinds of experience cause depression. Part Two focuses on a step by step recovery plan to overcoming depression and Part Three considers what has been learned in the past ten years about staying well and preventing relapse.Also available as an ebook Reviews: 'Tony Bates, apart from being such a highly respected professional, has a wonderful rapport with our listeners. He has a particular empathy that communicates effortlessly on Radio, perhaps because, as he says in this excellent book, 'I have battled through many a dark night of the soul myself.' - Marian Finucane, broadcaster 'A powerful and erudite book, it is written in a clear style and will help many people; it's not just an essential manual for those struggling with depression, but also a road map for those seeking to find a path to a new and refreshed sense of selfhood.' - Michael Harding, writer 'It is a very empowering book, making it clear that depression need never have power over us because we ourselves and only we have the power in our own lives.' - Sister Stanislaus Kennedy, visionary and social innovator 'Tony Bates invi

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

My original book on depression, The CommonSense Guide to Depression, has sold more than 30,000 copies since it was first published. This is a new edition of that book. The new title reflects a change in my understanding of depression over the past ten years and also the development of a new approach to preventing the recurrence of depression, based on the practice of mindfulness. I believe that this new thinking on depression offers a more complete map for your recovery. This book shows you the practical steps you can take to lift your mood; helps you listen to what depression may be trying to teach you about your life; and gives you a way to be with yourself when you feel most vulnerable. It is possible for any human being to lose their way , but it is equally possible for any human being to find their way . I hope this book supports and strengthens your recovery by showing that you have the inner strength to come through depression. Tony Bates. While intended primarily as a guide to recovery for anyone who is experiencing depression, this book is also written with the relatives and friends of that person in mind, hoping they can make sense of what can be a difficult experience to grasp from the outside . Understanding the journey through depression by all who are affected can act as a bridge between people who feel isolated by depression and those who care about them.
