غلبه بر افسردگی
افسردگي چيست و علايم آن كدامند؟ همة ما در طول عمر خود با اين سؤال مواجه شده‌ايم. بر اساس پيش‌بيني سازمان بهداشت جهاني (WHO) تا سال 2020، افسردگي دومين عامل اصلي تهديدكنندة سلامت و از دلايل اصلي ناتواني و مرگ در جهان، پس از بيماري‌هاي قلبي، خواهد بود. هر يك از ما ممكن است در مقطعي از زندگي مستعد ابتلا به افسردگي شويم، چه از اين موضوع مطلع باشيم يا نباشيم. اين موضوع دليل اصلي نياز به دانستن بيشتر درباره اين بيماري، علايم آن و راهكارهاي پيشگيري و درمان آن است. اين كتاب زنگ هشدار درباره اين بيماري مرموز و خاموش را به صدا در مي‌آورد و مي‌گويد كه افسردگي يك بيماري جدي است كه كودكان و بزرگسالان هم ممكن است به آن دچار شوند اما اگر به موقع به آن رسيدگي شود به شيوه‌اي مؤثر درمان‌شدني است. بايد بدانيم افسردگي نتيجة اشتباهات شخصي نيست و چيزي نيست كه فرد مبتلا بتواند به سادگي از آن رهايي يابد و نيز موضوعي نيست كه موجب سرافكندگي شخصي شود. خبر خوشي كه در اين كتاب مي‌خوانيم آن است كه افسردگي درمان‌پذير است و همه مي‌توانند از جسم و ذهن سالم بهره‌مند باشند. بهترين راه براي درمان افسردگي خودشناسي و عشق ورزيدن به خود است. هيچ دارويي نمي‌تواند افسردگي را از زندگي فرد مبتلا بيرون كند مگر اين كه خود شخص بخواهد و اين شدني است. شناخت درست افسردگي، علايم و نشانه‌ها، دلايل و راه‌هاي درمان آن مقوله‌هايي هستند كه در اين كتاب به آنها پرداخته شده است.

چقدر خوبه که چنین کتابهای خوبی هم هستند که حال انسان ها را خوب میکند من با کمک کتابها افسردگی خودم دارد خوب میشود واقعا ممنونم از نویسنده و مترجم اگه افسردگی هستید یکی از کتابهایی که پیشنهاد میکنم همین کتاب هست
(فقط جلد این کتاب در یه انتشارات دیگر فرق داره لطفا موقع خرید به نویسنده و مترجم دقت کنید . ❤)
و در ضمن اگر افسرده نیستید باز هم این کتاب را بخوانید
کتاب عالـی هست :-)

عنوان فصل‌ها بسیار غلط اندازند. حس می‌کنید پکیجی کامل برای شناخت افسردگی و راه‌های درمانش در اختیار دارید.
اما کتاب بیش از اطلاعات پر از ماجراهای افرادی که به این نتیجه رسیده‌اند که به روانشناس مراجعه کنند و شما هم این کار را انجام دهید.
در مقابل وقتی که می‌گیرد٬ اصلاً خواندنش ارزشمند نیست.
اطلاعات مفید کمی در اختیار خواننده می‌گذارد.
× بیشتر از گذشته به روانشناسی اعتقاد ندارم.

Originally reviewed on my blog:
http://jrlovesbooks.blogspot.in/2013/...
A thing that is seen all over around us these days ubiquitously is depression and stress. People suffer from this noxious illness even without being aware of it for ages. Research has proved that about 35% of Indians suffer from depression. Many of them don’t know it, those who do either don’t take it seriously or don’t want to seek help professional help about it. Here, Dr Seema Hingorrany comes to the rescue of such people.
This book helps a person understand this under estimated disease better, and it would help you figure if you are a victim, and if you already know it, it’d make sure you see a doctor about it. The best thing about the book is that it tells us how to identify depression from normal life stress, for the term ‘depression’ gets misquotes a billion times in our day to day lives.
From explaining the symptoms to telling us stories of her own patients, Ms. Hingorrany had tried her best to get us acquainted to the malady and has made reading the book exceptionally interesting.
One more thing I would want to talk about Beating the Blues is the cover. Whether a person is suffering from depression or not, he would invariably get attracted to the book just seeing the cover. From my five year old cousin to my forty year old uncle, everybody would sneak a peek at the book just because of its cover, and most probably would comment on it.
This book is a bible for people who are under depression or know someone who is. It not only helps you understand the disease better, but it also helps you come out of it. It most importantly breaks the myth about shrinks. Dr. Hingorrany says that there have been times when a person would tell her that they didn’t see a psychologist because they were scared. Some would even fear that they would be given shock treatments right on the first day. Beating the Blues explains almost every step that comprises the treatment of depression. From Play Therapy to side effects of anti-depressants, the book has it all.
I recommend it to everyone who feels the need to know about the subject, and to the ones who wonder if they are the victims of the disease or know someone who is or might be. It is a Must Read!

This book effectively addresses the issue by foregrounding the fact that depression is not a sign of personal flaw but just another illness that needs to be treated with medical assistance. People who suffer from depression need to know that it is not an inevitable condition but can be tackled with familial love, medical care, confidence building exercise, positive attitude and a healthy work-life balance.
UPS and Downs are part of life.We all have to go through them. Some people learn to take things in their stride,others buckle under pressure. For a depressed person, life seems like A MAZE where one easily loses his way. The WHO has predicted that by 2020, depression will be the second biggest health problem and the leading cause of disability and death.
Beating the blues stands for the author's commitment to making the road to recovery for those who live with depression ,possible.I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars. Awesome book. A very helpful guide.

Most of us either have/are fighting depression, or are/have witnessed our loved ones fight depression in different stages of life.
Last night I read Beating the Blues by Seema Hingorrany, a book by Random House India and here is my review.
I strongly suggest every lay man to read this. The least one can do is, *not* tell a depressed person to snap out of it, or keep themselves busy and they'l be fine.

نمیدونم چه اصراریه به متفاوت بودن وقتی فرق چندانی با کتابای هم رده ی خودش نداره؟
افسردگی رو از منظر ها و رویکرد های مختلف بررسی میکنه و با نثر نسبتن ساده ش توضیح میده تا ببینید در کدوم کتگوری جا میشید، بعدشم خود نویسنده اذغان میکنه که نود و هشت درصد افسرده ها به رواندرمانی احتیاج دارن، دارودرمانی هم تشویق میکنه به شرطی که در کنار رواندرمانی باشه.
بعدشم آزمونهای افسردگی رو توضیح میده که فایده ی چندانی نداره، افسردگی ژنتیکی، کودکی، میانسالی..فایدش حداقل این بود که خیلی از رفتار های عجیب رو توضیح میده که منشأ ش افسردگیه، خیلی از پرخاشگری ها، شیدایی ها و...

Its a bible for depression, every person who had a difficult childhood and hence wants to understand depression or simple his inner self shou;d read this book.
This book is just a brief on understanding and doesn't offer any solutions as suhc if anyone here does expect that. But yes you will understand depression better after a read.

The best book on human behaviour. Seema has taken efforts to explain the different disorders. Also, after reading this book, people will be no longer be shy or worry about the soceity to visit a psychotherapist. Thanks Seema for writing this book.
