Active
Treatment of Depression
Depression is a chronic recurring
illness, one that affects twenty percent of the American population.
Research confirms that the majority of people suffering from
depression do not respond quickly to standard prescribed treatments,
whether theraputic or pharmacological in nature. In fact many
existing treatments for depression actually exacerbate the disease.
In this provacative book, Richard O'connor that people with depression
need a different approach to treatment than any available today.
The book describes what it
is like to live with depression, the effects, the stigma, the
difficulty in getting treatment -- and then introduces the "common
sense" model of depression. This model emphasizes the muliple
biopsychosocial systems involved in the illness.
Throughout this practical yet
person book, the author shares his own experiences in battling
depression.
