This is the first book of its kind to break down coping skills by type of situation.

I've heard so many people tell those who suffer depression to just "cheer up." I wonder if they really believe that it's that simple. Depression isn't just sadness. It is emptiness, it is misery. It is pain and nothingness at once. When you are truly depressed you lack the ability or will to cheer yourself up. Even with all our scientific advances, depression remains one of the most mysterious mental illnesses. In this profoundly insightful work, Om Swami categorizes depression into three types to help you see how a different approach is needed to cure each type.

Your brain knows it's not good to do these things, but it can't help it sometimes - especially if it's obsessing about trauma it can't overcome. That's where this life-changing book comes in. With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what's going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately....

Not as good as 2 books written by same author!
Gives the facts about all kinds of depression within a somewhat cut and dry and boring overview. The presentation was not what I expected after reading two previous books she wrote on the brain and on anger which were direct and factual but also were at times funny and entertainung.

Thought it was gonna be touchy feely
I thought it was gonna be about depression journals and touchy feely...although a short book...it did have great info and suggestions....and her writing style made me feel really comfortable like a friend who us really smart is talking to me about deppression and possible solutions. Great book...because she talks in an every day way swearing and all....it made believe in trying out the suggestions even more as if a friend was helping me then if I heard the same thing from an author who seemed far away from the subject and you are being treated by a professional who can't relate and you are a patient and they are just doling out a cookie cutter prescription to. I appreciated that most from the book.

Unnecessary cursing
I really enjoyed the contents in this book. It was very insightful and informative. My only negative is it was a lot of cursing that I believe but not that necessary. I felt like she just threw curse words in just to throw them in.

There's nothing new or amazing here, just an explanation of depression and ways to cope, but it is a great introduction if you've been feeling off but don't know why. Short listen, but lots to take from it. Everyone could benefit something from this book.

Good content, bad prose
The information behind depression and other related disorders is insightful but why did the author choose to include unnecessary curse words and current slang? It’s not appropriate and takes you out of the book content. The slang will also out dated and out of place in the near future — it won’t age well at all.
Would I recommend it? Yes, just brace yourself for the superfluous use of odd word choices sprinkled in everywhere
