[Albert Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Feeling Low...A Kid's Guide To Understanding Depression is a very short informational book about Depressive Disorders It starts out with very short sentences describing how some people act when they are diagnosed with depression. Then the book mentions how they are not sick or weak, but rather healthy and strong. It also mentions how they just get sad and tired more than others. The book proceeds by telling the different reasons why people get depressed and how it affects their life. It then describes what disorders are and beings to explain the three main Depressive Disorders. Afterwards it tells you some of the treatment options that are available for people with depressive orders. In the end the book says how after learning about depression and learning how to treat it they don’t feel low or high they feel just right. The language and style that the book uses is age appropriate and it even has a glossary of some of the bigger for those who might not know what the words are. This book did an amazing job with representing a variety of cultural groups. It also was excellent in providing the viewpoints and perspectives of people with depression. The best part of the book is how there are no negative stereotypes of people with the different depressive disorders rather they explain it.
