Depression is not a disease, it is an emotion we all feel from time to time, and as such, (in my opinion) does not require a pill to numb. Depression does not have to be a permanent, life long condition. While it is true that some people are depressed because there is a chemical imbalance in their brain, a great majority of people are depressed because they have never been taught HOW to be happy. It is human nature to see the negative first in life, and because of this, a lot of people never learn how to be more optimistic, or happy with themselves. Once a person learns HOW to be happy, the chemical imbalance is slowly restored to a normal level, correcting the "problem" naturally.I was on anti-depressants for years, and honestly, they never did any good. I never felt better taking them, and I just worried more, because doctors kept telling me there was no cure for depression and I would always be that way. I worried about my liver and the side effects of the pills I was taking. One day it dawned on me that taking a pill wasn't making me any happier, so I stopped taking them. Now, I don’t recommend that for everyone. It was just what I needed to do for me.Instead I found better, healthier ways to deal with my depression. This book talks a lot about the same things I used to LEARN how to be happy and enjoy my life. If you are like me, and looking for a way to get better and not be dependent on manufactured happy pills your whole life, this book is a good start in learning how to enjoy your life more.
