It’s helped a lot

This self-guide to overcoming depression, anxiety and panic attacks is for you. You will live a life filled with content and purpose without regret. These are unique changes for anyone dealing with depression or anxiety to undergo. You will learn to control the when, how, where and why in your life.

I have been through a very tough time this year - mainly very serious health issues which have left me with anxiety and depression.Whilst in an acute state of depression, this is not a helpful book. I think the author means well but doesn’t truly understand that it’s all very well saying “get some exercise, eat well, rest well, be with friends “But the truth is, when suffering from PTSD, as I am, leading to depression, these words feel too much. It feels like the author is talking from training, not from truly understanding what’s its like to feel that you cannot even get out of bed, let alone pick up the phone to a friend or go for a walk.So, in conclusion, I think this book will probably work for those who are suffering mild depression and can rationalise - not those who are in deeper trouble.

This is a concise book which gives a clear explanation of the cause and effect of depression, anxiety and panic attacks. It has lots of useful help offered to both the sufferer and the carer. If you don't understand the difference between the various types of illness, then this will help you to differentiate between them.

Would not recommend purchasing this book. The advice about panic attacks is very inaccurate, it suggest they only happen when something bad has happened to you. I don’t feel this book has helped me at all.

Doesn't contain any information that you could not find, for free, elsewhere on the internet. I'm puzzled as to how this book has received so many 5 star reviews over such a short period of time. Also, the basic grammatical and spelling errors make parts difficult to read. If you are suffering from depression save your money and put it towards professional help which will be much more valuable.

Excellent book to read to learn the art of bringing the depression under control.A great idealogy by the author to specifically explain the situation and the art of adaptability.Felt live speaking to a friend when I read this book as it very very simple in terms and I just read this book in less than 4 hours during my flight journey.Amazing thing is it tends to make me read Again and again

There are some excellent tips and and advice to help you to recognise feelings of depression in yourself or in others. It provides great ways to support a loved one through their depression. Recognising their depression and seeking medical help is the first and most important step. This book helps when doing this.

Just so basic. It is more like a guide to depression for absolute beginners, than a self help book. Almost no use at all I’m afraid to say, very disappointing.
