The term "depression" covers a wide spectrum of conditions ranging
from mild despondency to melancholia, the very deepest form of
depression. Natural despondency is not a disease but simply a part
of life. Depression, however, is a common psychiatric illness that
must be identified and treated in the same manner as other
illnesses. Depression: The Facts, Second Edition provides a simple,
yet comprehensive overview of depression for sufferers, their
friends, and families. It contains case-study descriptions and can
serve as a quick-reference for those with a medical background. It
succinctly details the signs and symptoms of clinical depression,
as well as the process of diagnosis and the different subtypes,
including major depression, dysthymia, manic depression disorders,
and seasonal affective disorder. The second part of the book covers
the current understanding of the causes of depression, based on the
scientific evidence. The book concludes with a review of treatment
options and practical guidance on self-help in depression, as well
as useful advice for family and friends. The main aim of this book
is to reach those who need help and want to understand themselves
and their condition more, in an easy-to-read format without an
excess of medical terminology and statistics that may overwhelm the
non-medically trained individual. All concepts have been broken
down into bullet-points and sub-headings, to allow easy digestion
of the concepts and information. This empowers the reader, and may
ultimately prompt someone to seek help and support.
