Unveiling Depression In Women: A Practical Guide To Understanding And Overcoming Depression by licenced psychologists Catherine Hart Weber and Archibald Hart is a serious guide written expressly to be easily understood by the non-specialist general reader. This informative highly recommended work deals specifically with understanding the unfortunate phenomenon of depression as it specifically presents itself in women. Individual chapters address causes of depression, getting help, and strategies for improving one's life when suffering from depression or if a loved one suffers from depression. Unveiling Depression In Women is an ideal book for anyone who suffers from chronic or clinical depression, and those who love them.

This volume is indeed a practical guide to understanding and dealing with depression, especially as it affects women. The place of Christian faith in the healing process is paramount in this book. Discussion of the topic is divided into four major sections: Understanding Depression in Women; Causes of Depression; Getting Help and Healing Depression; and Strategies for Overcoming Depression. In non technical terms the causes and affects of depression are discussed as well as possible methods of intervention. It is helpful to see that depression is a natural consequence of life experiences. When it absorbs a major part of one's life, depression has become a serious problem, but not a hopeless one. Beginning with prayer and fellowship with other Christians, the depressed woman can obtain the degree of help she needs if she follows the suggestions provided by the authors. Pastors, counselors, grandparents, and good friends will find this a ready resource.

This book is one of the most helpful books on Depression that I have read. It guides you through the different aspects of depression. It says clearly why medication is helpful and it sets out clearly different types of depression.

I had been reading widely as I have been asked to give a talk on Depression, and I wish that every member of the group I will be speaking to, could have a copy of this book. it is easy to read, understandable,and helpful.

I thought this book put things into perspective for me. I suffer from clinical depression. runs in my family. There were a lot of points the author made that I could relate with. very interesting read

Not only have I read this book, I highly recommend it for any woman or mother dealing with depression or a daughter with depression. The book covers the ins and outs of the physioligical, mental, emotional and even spiritual components of depression. Additionally, the medical research and information about choosing a therapist are clear and concise. I highly recommend this book.
