People who have never been depressed have no idea what it's like. And people who have know all too well how tough depression can be to live with. Dr. Faith explains the brain science behind depression, complete with Zuul references, and talks you through the different options out there for getting better. Yes there are things you can do to feel good again (including drugs, but avoiding a spiraling successions of drug cocktails).

If you need solid expert advice from someone who can also make you laugh your ass off, this book is for you!

I listened to this whilst in the throes of yet another depressive episode. Usually everything irritates me when I’m in one but amazingly this didn’t - at all! I like the fact she has a potty mouth, I do too. Most of the advice I’ve already heard and practiced but some other down to earth advice I haven’t come across. Many thanks for providing this book for free.

I thought the use of profanity was really unnecessary and detracted overall from the content.

Somewhat useful

To be honest I’m in a huge depressive cycle (for the millionth time) and this book has raised my hope of one day being able to fight depression off before it eats me alive. There is a LOT of swearing but this isn’t an issue for me, I have a sailors mouth and it makes it more realistic for me to listen to.

I’m listening to all of them on here- thanks Audible for putting them in the included section.

Rather dull and lots of words saying very little. Probably about six useful sentences that you could take away and work with.

Mildly helpful

Fantastic book. Totally love it... well except the swearing. Harper gets down to the nitty gritty of mental illness, brain dysfunction, the common misdiagnosis of depression and (what I love the most) the importance of nutrition, cbt and other modern tools from the standard armamentarium. Yes beyond just using pharmaceuticals to heal the mind.

She gives root causes, points out some solutions and also directs you to organisations that can guide/help. I'm not incredulous, but I am in awe. I endorse this book except for the swearing, Lol.

Great book too much unnecessary swearing
