"Essays on a wide variety of approaches to healing depression (therapy, medication, nutrition, etc.) and also to 'embracing' depression as a meaningful part of one's life and spiritual journey."
"When I exercise, I want to be sure to get my heart rate high enough to make a difference, without working out any harder than necessary. :-) I'm happy with this monitor, which is cheaper and simpler than most, and you can replace the battery on the chest strap yourself (not the case with some others)."
"I think this is a powerful anti-depression book, even if you have no particular interest in being an 'artist.' Helped me think about what I enjoy and what I long for."
"How to suffer less and have more compassion for yourself in the midst of depression. Highly recommended for when you're on the upswing; may just piss you off if you're still very depressed."
"I'm still trying to figure out if any nutritional strategies make any noticeable difference. (I think B vitamins and C help some.) I like this book, which has an alphabetical listing of vitamins/minerals and their uses and also an alphabetical listing of medical conditions and the vitamins/minerals that might help (or hurt)--all based on scientific research."
"No need to read this book, but do have your doctor check your thyroid levels. Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland) is apparently fairly common, especially among women, and a major symptom is depression."
