Synopsis

Depression affects many people at some point in their lives. Fortunately, we now know that by changing certain thoughts and behaviour patterns you can greatly improve how you feel. Overcoming Depression and Low Mood: A Five Areas Approach explains how low mood can affect your life. It helps you understand why you sometimes feel low, anxious, angry, or guilty. It also teaches proven practical skills to help you change how you feel. By using the clearly described practical tools inside, you can make helpful changes to your life. Ultimately, the hope is that this book will help you to regain a sense of control over how you feel.

The book is based on a cognitive behavioural therapy approach. The developers of this approach found many effective ways of tackling common symptoms and problems people face when feeling low. The course can make a big difference if you can commit to using it. Having someone else to encourage you is also important. Interactive questions and worksheets, which are a key feature of the series, are plentiful in this new edition. An award-winning companion website, www.livinglifetothefull.com, includes additional support materials and information.

Media Reviews
A remarkably clear and easy to use tool for people living with depression that can be used by almost any health practitioner. This book provides a valuable tool to people with depression and to professionals who can sometimes feel daunted by managing this common and distressing condition.
Men's Health Journal

This book sets itself apart from a rather large pack of potential competitors by its clarity and practicality. It is particluarly well-suited for use in practices that use predominantly cognitive-behavioural techniques in treating mild to moderate depression. Psychotherapists and psychiatrists in training will find it extremely helpful. It is destined to be highly regarded, particularly by clinicians who struggle to find relevant homework assignments for their patients who suffer from deppressive illness.
