The Anti-Depressant Book is written specifically for teenagers and young adults who are struggling with depression. It offers a step-by-step solution to feeling happier quickly and developing healthy habits that will prevent relapse. It includes cognitive, behavioral, and motivational strategies for emerging from a depression and staying well. There are also brief sections for parents who are struggling with a depressed child. The book was written as a response to the suicide clusters in Palo Alto to help prevent as many suicides as possible.
The Anti-Depressant Book can be used as an adjunct to traditional therapy, or by itself, particularly for those with mild to moderate depression. It is irreverent, fun to read, and practical. Particularly if your child is suicidal, this just might save their life.
