This excellent book introduces the depressed reader to the concept that depressed people can learn to restore and maintain normal mood without adverse effects. Without getting overly 'medical' the author accurately explains how people can get a proper diagnosis and restorative treatment. There are many causes of depression and / or contributing factors - therefore, accurate diagnosis is crucial step for determining a restorative treatment for depression. The author's work was reviewed and supplemented by Dr. A. Hoffer, a leading orthomolecular psychiatrist. His excellent work has taught many healthcare professionals how biochemistry can complement psychiatry. Since Dr. Hoffer is both a psychiatrist and a PHD biochemist, he offers unique insights into the benefits of integrating these two fields to help mental patients recover. If you are depressed, this book is worth reading.

Carrigan attempts to solve the worlds problems through a series of overgeneralizations and shoddy research. I don't think any ill intent was present, but this book will make you more depressed.
