Depression for Dummies. A Review

Depression for Dummies / Charles H. Elliott and Laura L. Smith  (For Dummies, 2003). Paperback, 362 p. ISBN 9780764539008

Depression for Dummies might seem like an unfortunate choice for a title about a condition so often characterized by low self-esteem, but of course it is part of a series of books written for people without a professional background in the subject. While reading any book will not cure anyone of depression, it certainly helps to have reliable and easily understandable information.

Both people suffering from depression and friends and relatives who care for them need practical knowledge to understand the condition. Authors Charles H. Elliott and Laura L. Smith provide it with both empathy and good humor. The chapters in Depression for Dummies explain symptoms, describe a variety of treatment options, and recommend resources such as other books, web sites, and helpful organizations.

Depression, a debilitating condition, is difficult both to live through and treat. Unfortunately, it carries high incidence  of relapse. Depression for Dummies includes an entire section on how to prevent it.  It also includes a generous amount of practical exercises. They are suitable for self help, but work best as a part of professional therapy. Meanwhile, there is even a chapter called "Getting Out of Bed."

Depressed people can all too easily feel like no one knows what life is like for them, that no one can help them, that they are somehow terrible people for feeling as they do, or that depression is a punishment for something they may not even be able to describe.  Therapists often recommend Depression for Dummies to their patients as easy to understand, friendly, non-threatening, and practical source of both information and inspiration. All-Purpose Guru Alert offers carefully selected bargain book, featuring one  title at a terrific discount every day.
