Practical, day-to-day ways to manage your depression. Some call it
the blues or a storm in their head. William Styron referred to it
as "darkness visible." Whatever the description, depression is a
disorder of the mind and body that affects millions of adults at
some point in their lives. In Take Control of Your Depression, Dr.
Susan J. Noonan provides people experiencing depression with
strategies to take stock of their mental state, to chart a course
toward emotional balance, and to track their progress on the
journey to well-being. Writing from her personal experience as both
a recipient and a provider of mental health services, Dr. Noonan
explains how to obtain care from professionals, outlines what
medical options are available, and lists everyday things people can
do to feel better. Integrating medicine, psychology, and holistic
care while exploring the basics of mental health, she touches on
diet, sleep habits, physical activity, and mindfulness techniques.
