  It is reckoned that up to 2.6 million adults in the UK alone suffer from depression, and that it costs the economy in the region of GBP9 billion pounds per annum both in treatment and in lost work days. And yet, most people don't really understand what depression is, what the difference between depression and 'feeling a little blue' or what the symptoms are. This is a subject I'm absolutely passionate about. When I was a medical student, I became depressed and ended up in hospital myself. I learned a lot and have tried all the ideas in this book, can vouch for them and have seen them work for many of my patients. Dr Sabina Dosani. Depression is greatly misunderstood.
