I WANT MORE!,
By Sara (Hermosa Beach, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Restoring Intimacy: The Patient's Guide to Maintaining Relationships During Depression (Paperback)
This book was easy to read and helped me understand more about the side effects of medication and the impact depression can have on relationships. I liked reading the questions/answers that were provided but I wish there were more tips on how to maintain my relationship through my depression. I would recommend this to someone who wants more of an overview/clinical view on depression. For those of you who want tips on how to strengthen your relationship, look elsewhere...

Not worth the money or time,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Restoring Intimacy: The Patient's Guide to Maintaining Relationships During Depression (Paperback)
I am a clinical psychologist and have been in practice for over 20 years. This book is primarily about the side effects of medications with very little practical advice on maintaining relationships during depression. There are far, far better books on the market on this topic with practical help in them. A good therapist can tell you the points in this book in five minutes. Don't waste your money here.

You've Got To Be Kidding,
By A Customer
This review is from: Restoring Intimacy: The Patient's Guide to Maintaining Relationships During Depression (Paperback)
This is the most misleading title ever. The book promises to help you resore your intimacy. For someone suffering from depression and looking for a way to fix their diminished sexual desire, this book is a cruel joke with nothing more to say than "Talk to your doctor about it".You can save yourself a lot of time and money if you already know the basics about depression and its effects on your life. This book offers absolutely no solutions, just platitudes! I would have given it zero stars, but Amazon didn't give me that option.
