Inhaltsangabe

Is there any end to the cycle of relapse, hospitalisation and medication for sufferers of depression? Drs Michael Corry and Áine Tubridy believe there is.

In this innovative book, Corry and Tubridy present a revolutionary new perspective in which they assert that depression is an emotion, just like fear, anger or love, that can be consciously influenced, rather than a disease which can only be suffered.

This theory has enormous implications for the traditional treatment of depression. It puts the sufferer back at the centre of a more individual and tailored approach to healing and raises serious questions about the medical community's focus on medication as a primary treatment.

'Liberating and even empowering for some sufferers of depression who previously perceived their illness to be a brain chemistry disorder, the cure of which was beyond their control'

- The Irish Times
