The Depression Cure

In another post I wrote about the excellent book, The Depression Cure, by Stephen Ilardi, PhD. I am taking my time with this book because a lot of it I've come across in my own reading. Yet, the book really helps me put definitive parameters around many treatments (e.g., how much sunlight to get per day?, how much omega-3 fatty acids?, etc.).

Depression, I believe, is more common than commonly thought. Especially low-level depression.

I see depression as something that once you have you then feel life will never be the same. It's true. But as the writer and therapist Thomas Moore has said, depression has a way of seasoning a person, possibly in a way nothing else can.
