Going
through depression can be difficult. Thankfully, there is absolutely no
shame in seeking out medical help. But not everyone wants to go that
route. Fortunately, there are some non-medical activities that can
help. That’s what this book is about: 50 Non-Medical Strategies for
Coping with Depression.
Depression is a way-too-common disorder
that, I have to admit, I have suffered from myself. However, I have
discovered that there are certain behaviors that have helped me deal
with this condition. My hope is that they will help you as well.
It’s
estimated that 16 million adults in the United States experience at
least one major depressive episode each year. It doesn’t matter what
you call it: Depression, Adjustment Disorder, Bi-Polar, Being
Unconsolably Sad, or simply Feeling Down. You just feel bad and are
unable to cope.
I realized that there were some activities that
made me feel better: A nice nap in the middle of the day; a meal that
tasted really good; and chocolate. Chocolate always makes everything
better.
I started making a list and eventually came up with 50
Strategies. That’s what this book is all about: 50 Strategies for
activities to try to help you cope with your depression, make your life
more bearable, and be able to get more accomplished.
The goal of
this book is to help you deal with your depression. I know that when I
feel good, I want to do stuff. And even if I have to force myself to do
stuff, I usually feel better when I’ve accomplished a thing or two.
These strategies work for me and I hope they work for you.
