Summary: Highly recommended
Comment: I have read a number of books in the overcoming series and they were all helpful. This book addresses depression in a kind, understanding and compassionate way. It looks at things that I never understood about depression, such as issues around perfectionism and anger. I was recommended to the overcoming books by a friend ... I could honestly say they have been a lifesaver in difficult times and I wouldn't hesitate in passing on that recommendation.

Summary: well done
Comment: i came across this book after buying another book
[the calling of your true self] it was under this book as people who bought this book also bought this one, glad i came across both as i can certainly say both have brought me back to a better way of thinking, and lifted me from my dark hole,recommend both as one helps the other in a funny kind of way

Summary: a positive step forward
Comment: I don't think this book is not for anyone who is in the middle of a deep depression though it might help their family and friends to understand a bit of what is going on in their mind. Bu it and save it for when you start to feel a bit better. It also shouldn't just be used on its own but as an extra to the help your GP can give you.
As someone who has suffered chronic depression throughout my adult life I have found this book invaluable. Not only has it helped me to understand what was/is happening to me but has been good to dip in and out of.
There are practical exercises to do, it asks you some very difficult questions and you may find you pick it up and put it down a lot of times before you feel up to reading it but I think this is an excellent book which has helped me through some very dark times.

Summary: My crutch
Comment: I was lent this book by my CPN not long after I was first diagnosed with quite severe depression in August 2007 & it soon became something of a crutch for me - I had to order a copy for myself so her other patients could benefit from her copy. I agree that, initally at least, it probably wouldn't work on its own but in conjunction with therapy and/or medication it is a great book. It was good to read & think 'I know that feeling' - it made me feel like there was still some fine thread linking me to the world people around me inhabit.
In a strange way it helps that Paul Gilbert is a clinical psychologist who has himself suffered with depression; it means he writes in both a practical and informative style. The book is medical without being hard to follow & helpful without being pink fluffy cloudy.

Summary: overcoming depression
Comment: Having had a 12 month bout of depression and ending up on medication, I was advised to read this book. It offers a fascinating insight into how our thoughts and feelings can be misinterpreted and gives methods into dealing with negativity which often leads to depression. The book does require some commitment but once you start to feel better and start to understand your thought processes, you want to continue reading and learn more. I want to work through the whole series!
