At the beginning the author really seems to "get" the depression mindset: "This is the cruelest part of the disease: we blame ourselves for being weak or lacking character instead of accepting that we have an illness, instead of realizing that our self-blame is a symptom of the disease." But he totally lost me with this one sentence: "In either case, more self-control — plain old willpower — is essential to recovery." Really? Willpower will defeat depression. Yeah...not so much. And I was already turned off by the time I got to this kicker: "Every patient I’ve ever known who was depressed had a difficult childhood." Umm, except me, it seems. I think the problem here is something the author mentions himself. He admits that he has less experience with the "lethargic" form of depression - where you have no interest in anything, every simple task feels like a mountain to climb. He clearly treats a form of depression I don't even recognize because it's not my experience. So this book might be a game-changer for someone with the over-work kind of depression he speaks about. And maybe that's where his willpower theory would also be helpful. But when you're struggling just to get out of bed, force yourself to eat something, and crying hysterically at nothing at all, this book will just make you feel like you've failed yet again.

But, with all that said I should note for whoever will read this in hopes of changing things. The foundation of solutions from this book is two things – your own work to change yourself and your friends/relatives who will help you in that. If don’t have the latter, the former will be many times harder. This is probably not the book you should read while been truly alone in life. Probably. ( )
