Sadness is a feeling that everyone experiences at some time in their lives. It's generally short-lived and triggered by a specific event. Clinical depression, however, is different. It is a continuous feeling of despair and worthlessness that isn't triggered by any specific emotional event and won't go away with time. Depression affects how you behave, feel, and think, and when left untreated can take a serious toll on a person's life. If you feel like you may be depressed or know someone who is, this book is for you.
Facing Depression will help readers to better understand what depression is and how it can interfere with your life. As with any mental health issue, depression is nothing to feel ashamed of. By recognizing the problem and seeking professional help, depression can be managed for a better and fuller life.
