  As a society, we have long misunderstood the process of depression. Depression is not just a chemical imbalance in the brain; it can be our body's response to the need to address imbalance in our whole lives and is in many ways about transformation. In fact, when viewed and treated within a holistic framework, the process of depression can become a powerful and potentially creative healing path. In this remarkable and practical book, Dr Jonathan Zeuss provides a comprehensive framework for understanding depression and for matching treatments with the appropriate individual. He advocates a comprehensive treatment programme that includes physical examination, exercise, nutrition, vitamins, herbs, psychotherapy, medication and relaxation techniques. He also offers an excellent step-by-step method for creative problem-solving. These gentle, non-invasive techniques aid the process of depression rather than suppressing it, thus leading to a true solution.
