Depressive Illness The Curse of The Strong

If you suffer from depression you are not alone – it affects 15.5 million in the US, and more than 3 million in the UK – and, you are much stronger than you think. This best-selling book, written by a leading consultant psychiatrist, explains that people with depression do battle with pressures and stresses that other people would run away from, until their bodies can take no more. In this audio-book, depression is placed authoritatively as a physical illness, from which recovery is possible.

Depression (Diseases and Disorders)

Everyone occasionally feels blue or sad, but these feelings usually pass within a few hours. Even when dealing with grief or a major sorrow, people typically begin to feel a bit better in a few days.
A depressive disorder interferes with daily life and causes pain for both the person with the disorder and those who care about him or her.
