First Steps out of Depression

Being depressed can leave you feeling completely paralysed. Getting out of it seems impossible. You need help, and that is what this book offers: simple, compassionate help. Unlike clinical books that approach the subject from a distance, First Steps out of Depression is written by someone who has suffered from depression herself-who understands that it's not just about "cheering up". Whether you are wondering for the very first time whether you're depressed, or whether you are someone who has suffered from depression before, this book will help guide you out of the pit, one step at a time.
