Paperback: 395 pages Publisher: HCI (March 15 2003) Costumer Rating:  Read an Excerpt Introduction Book Description Depression hurts. Sometimes it overwhelms. But what do we really know about it? Is the current opinion about its nature and treatment true? Whether you or someone you know suffers from depression, you have choices that will enhance recovery. Rather than relying on the drugs-alone approach, which is expensive, often toxic, and doesn't work well, there may be other more effective and less bothersome recovery aids. In this bold new book, renowned physician, psychotherapist and bestselling author Charles Whitfield offers new hope. Through revealing description, case studies, cutting-edge research and illustrative charts, Dr. Whitfield explores the risks, side effects and high costs of treating these disorders with drugs alone, and offers several other effective healing aids. He shows: • Why the real causes of depression are often overlooked • How to avoid wasting time and money when seeking treatment for depression • How several non-drug alternatives can help, including recognizing past traumas This book offers a lifeline for those who have been held hostage by depression and provides clinicians with effective new treatment solutions.
