This review is from: Free Yourself from Depression (Hardcover)

Absolutely by far the best book I have ever read on depression. After years of counseling and therapy, nothing came close to the actual reasons for my depression. It hit the nail on the head in describing the way I think, and why it will start the snowball effect of depression! Bravo. I am on my way to good mental health after 48 years.
