I must say that I was a little put off when I first received this book in the mail. It was quite a bit smaller than I had expected, so be prepared. It is more like an oversized booklet than a book.

For such a short "book" though, it really packs a punch. Although some of the info could use updating, it gives quite a bit of modern, useful info on how spiritual attitude, fitness, diet and supplements can play a positive role in treating anxiety and depression. The information is not comprehensive, nor could it possibly be in such a short publication. It does, however, give a lot of good, general info on how to improve your chances of overcoming anxiety and depression, and is a good starting point for more research.

It's a short read, but well worth the time and expense. I like the fact that it covers both the spiritual and physical aspects of treating anxiety and depression. A great concept. My only problem with the book is that it is not longer and more thorough.

Dr. Colbert's books are always very helpful. What Dr. Colbert should specify in a revised edition, is that it is helpful to take 5-HTP at night, as it is sleep inducing. The tyrosine should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach, one half hour before eating. His book works well with Dr. Priscilla Slagle's "The Way Up From Down", as I've discovered. Her simple amino acid program (which includes 5-HTP and tyrosine) along with multivitamin minerals, extra B-complex, and C, does the trick to keep depression and anxiety at bay. I too, like another reader here, suffered traumatic experiences that led to my depression. God bless Dr. Colbert nonetheless for getting the word out, and continuing to enlighten the world in more than one sense!

It is easy to understand, easy to follow, and full of God's word. I experienced some life-shattering events causing anxiety and depression. By following the instructions in the book, I was able to see the sunshine in my world again. Thank you Dr. Colbert.

As a licensed psychotherapist serving a mostly indigent population, I am always on the lookout for concise and simple information I can share with my clients that will help them manage their own symptoms. I use primarily a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) theoretical approach. This book certainly filled the bill and I recommend its use to other clinicians!

The bipolar friend I gave this book too appreciated the size being small and was more willing to read it than he would have a thick "too-much-information" book. It is a great size to carry around without being conspicuous.

This book is written very simply and to the point. If the informaton given is utilized, it could bring about amazingly successful changes in your ability to deal with and overcome stress and anxiety.

I expected this to have more words of wisdom inspired by the bible than it had. I also didn't expect as much non-traditional homeopathic options for treating depression & anxiety as it provided. These would have been helpful, but every other suggestion said that you couldn't take this herb or that supplement if you were on anti-depressants, which isn't very helpful for someone who is really depressed and needs those medications.

Some people don't realize that anxiety and depression is a big deal in the teenage world today. So this book can be really helpful for teenagers too! My mother is reviewing the book again with me. Dr. Colbert delivered me when I was born at Florida Hospital and was my doctor for many years and we have a lot of respect for him. And he is a really pleasant person and always made me laugh when I was in his office

This little book helped pull me through one of the worst depressions I have ever been through. In the end, I did need hospitilisation as my depression was quite a bit more than the mild variety, but reading this book everyday reminded me that God is there for us in our suffering, and He has given us the tools to heal ourselves. Non-Christians may be put off as this is Bible-based, however I myself am not a traditional Christian and still found the love of God contained in this book.
