I appreciated that this book gave an overview of depression.  But what I most appreciated was that it gave simple, tangible steps to treating depression.  Certainly if someone is suicidal, professional help is a necessity.  However, I think a lot of us are just dealing with a lighter form of depression that we can potentially help ourselves through.  I really related to the discussion of how diet and exercise can both increase and decrease depression.  I am a major consumer of caffeine and never really thought of it in relation to moods.  Until reading this book, I didn’t know that caffeine has been linked to increases in depression and mood disorders.  I’ve now removed caffeine from my diet and added more exercise to my days as well.  I’m already feeling the difference.  Thank you.
