Inhaltsangabe

Imagine living in a darkness so deep, you can't eat well, you can't sleep well, you can't concentrate on anything for very long—in short, your life is not as it once was. Depression often feels like moving through a fog so thick it envelopes every aspect of your entire life.

Depression had its claws in Mark Litzsinger for years, but by taking the hands offered to him from family, friends, and medical professionals, he was able to climb out of the shadows and back into his life. You too can make the same journey.

This updated book provides a hand to hold as you deal with depression. It is designed to help you—and your family, friends, and doctors—understand the disease and develop a plan for getting the best care to overcome depression.

• Long-time Chicago-area family scion, and successful corporate exec of a leading library business, with a gripping personal history of depression.
• Woven throughout the text is a highly readable and informative history of the diagnosis, treatment, and societal attitudes toward the disease.
• A powerful take on one of the worst parts of depression – "with all this, why can’t you be happy?" It’s the worst thing to say, whether to a new mom, family members, or someone like the author, who had all the opportunities and appearances of a successful life, including a car collection, all while battling a horrible disease, often in private. The frank writing on that part of the personal battle is a must-read for any sufferer.
• "Between 6-7% of American adults struggle with a major depressive episode, about 16 million people, each year." - National Institute of Mental Health. This feeling can be an especially difficult struggle during the New Year resolutions and "New You" ads and conversations in our culture.
