  Depression is the greatest isolation that we can experience. In depression we can neither give nor receive comfort, for we are alone in a prison, and that prison is filled with fear, anger guilt and despair. Dorothy Rowe show how we build such a prison for ourselves; why we can resist all attempts to get us to leave this prison; but if we decide to leave it, there is a route we can follow. Depression provides a radically new approach to the problem. Dorothy Rowe shows how we create our own depression and how, since we created it, we are also free to change it. She describes how hard it is for families to live with a depressed person but points to the important role they play in enabling a person to change. A family can, wittingly or unwittingly, prevent a person from finding a way out the prison.

  Depression: The Way Out of Your Prison gives us a way of understanding our depression which matches our experience and which enables us to take charge of our life and change it. Dorothy Rowe shows us that depression is not an illness or a mental disorder but a defence against pain and fear, which we can use whenever we suffer a disaster and discover that our life is not what we thought it was.

  Depression is an unwanted consequence of how we see ourselves and the world. By understanding how we have interpreted events in our life we can choose to change our interpretations and thus create for ourselves a happier, more fulfilling life.

  Depression: The Way Out of Your Prison is for depressed people, their family and friends, and for all professionals and non-professionals who work with depressed people.
