For any parent who thinks or knows their child has depression, there is no better source of information than this book. We found our son described on nearly every page. It helped us to understand the problem. More importantly, it helped us to learn how to help him. Reading this book makes me want to devote the rest of my life to helping parents in this situation.

This book can help save a life. As his son, I attest Dr. Berlinger explains depression in frank terms that both professionals and parents can understand and follow. Any parent who wishes to get a better grasp on their child's symptoms will be directed towards reality. I am living proof that this book works.

This was one of the best written books ever for parents of depressed teens. I read it quickly, was able to identify with the author's experiences and it helped me understand the nuances of the depressive disorder that no doctor has provided us. It truly is from a parent's perspective while his medical knowledge gives him the credentials to make thoughtful comments on coping with the disease and the behaviors while raising a well adjusted young person. Highly recommended to the parents and grandparents of a depressed teen. Counselors and psychiatric professionals could learn from this as well.

Rescuing Your Teenager from Depression could have been written about my own son. Very informative and helpful!
