Understanding Depression (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499479577)

Depression is frequently dismissed as no more than sadness. However, the reality is that this mental illness can cause severe distress to the point of being life-threatening. The accessible main text approaches depression with compassion and frankness, giving readers expert explanations and self-help strategies. In-depth sidebars and informative fact boxes explore the causes of depression, its impact on daily life, and effective ways to cope. An age-appropriate list of books and websites offers young adults further information on how to gain a sense of control that combats the helplessness depression often causes.
