HTML: On July 24th, 2004, author Graeme Cowan took pen to paper and said goodbye to his family. "I just can't be a burden any longer," he wrote. After four failed suicide attempts, and a five-year episode of depression that his psychiatrist described as the worst he had ever treated, Cowan set out on a difficult journey back from the brink. Since then, he has dedicated his life to helping others struggling with depression and bipolar disorderâ??and that is how this book came to be. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The author then describes the method that he found personally helpful in overcoming his depression, which was severe enough to include several suicide attempts. Like most self-help books, your mileage will vary, but there are some interesting nuggets to pick up here and there from his successes even if you don't find everything to be particularly relevant. Much of his method seems to bear some sort of relationship to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, so perhaps look into ACT if you find yourself wanting to know more after reading this book.
Ultimately I'd recommend this as a good read about mental illness to sufferers, family members, caregivers, supporters, or just interested bystanders. I found it to be free of judgmental language and full of support and compassion for those who suffer from depression or bipolar disorder. ( )
