Depression

by Tom Smith (Artist)

Depression is a serious illness that needs serious attention -- just as much attention as cancer or heart disease. Treating people with depression is not just about prescribing pills, nor is it just about spending lots of time talking to them. Doctors have to do much more. Dr Tom Smith describes depression and explains why we get depressed, treating depression with drugs and other treatments. He also describes how to think through your depression, what you can do for yourself and how to change those negative thoughts. Mood changes when depressed, changing negative thinking, unhelpful extreme thinking, becoming more outward going and assertive together with sleep problems are all covered in this book.
