10 best-ever depression management techniques. Margaret Wehrenberg. 2010.

Why is depression one of the most pervasive of all mental health complaints? What makes the lethargy, mental rumination, loss of concentration, unassuageable negativity, and feelings of inadequacy so stubbornly resistant to treatment and so hard to shake off? What can I do to alleviate my symptoms and move in the direction of full recovery?

In order to answer these questions - and understand your depression - you must first understand your brain. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience research presented in a reader-friendly way, Margaret Wehrenberg provides a strategy-filled handbook to understand, manage, and conquer your depression, skilfully describing  what happens in the brain of a depression sufferer, and what specific techniques can be used to alter brain activity and control its range of disabling symptoms.
