Book Description:
​​
In the fully updated second edition of Living with Depression, Serani outlines the various forms of depression, describes the different treatments, and outlines methods for living with depression and getting the help you or a loved one needs. However, since the first edition was published, much has changed in the landscape of depression including diagnostic aspects, new disorders, treatments and research, and Deborah Serani covers it all. Tips on how to choose a good therapist, negotiate the labyrinth of healthcare, and minimize stigma are addressed, as is learning how to use biology and biography as tools of empowerment. There is no other book that offers what Living with Depression – giving readers a dual perspective of what it’s like to know depression as a clinician and as a patient.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

I read the first book on depression from this author and thought it to be an amazing resource for those living with depression, for people such as myself. Though my depression isn’t as bad as some, it still takes up a part of my life. With this second revised edition of Living with Depression, Deborah Serani takes this edition above and beyond her first book.

Today things change so much, and the depression medication and treatments have changed with the new medications out. This book outlines methods to choose a good therapist, talk with your therapist, talk to your Drs about the different kinds of medicines. Sometimes the medication you are on still works, but then sometimes you can try the new meds on the market to see if it betters your condition. There are so many new options, along with the old, and it gives a lot more options that ever before.

As I read this book, taking notes, I was able to come up with lots of questions about my own depression that I can now as my Doctors. I’m giving this new book Five Stars. I strongly encourage you to check out this book.
