What Is It? How Do We Cope?

Psychologist Jack Dominian shows how depression can be diagnosed and treated, taking into account the latest research into its social and psychological causes.

Depression is a common and debilitating condition; it can cause severe suffering, is often associated with the main crises of life, results in serious mental illness and even suicide. But, despite the fear and misunderstanding which surround it, it can be diagnosed and treated.
Jack Dominian has written a survey of depression which aims at removing the fear and ignorance which so often impair proper understanding and successful treatment. He examines the causes of depression, its incidence and treatment, and defines the different forms it can take from childhood, through adolescence, to middle-age frustration and old-age despair. His approach makes a little-understood illness comprehensible, removing the suspicion and fear, and offering hope to the afflicted, their friends and relatives.
Depression is an invaluable introduction, ideal for the Samaritan, the social worker, the doctor and the layman.
