*Review*

Living With Depression was a very unique read. The author is a psychologist, and she, herself, has her own battles with depression, stigma, and advocacy.

There is so much information packed into this book! Some information I already knew, but I was surprised with the amount of stuff I didn’t know!

Suffering from my own mental illnesses, this is a book I would have loved to have had. Today, I like having it on my shelf as a guide on ways to better understand what I’m going through and get the help that I need.

Living With Depression offers both an emotional, as well as scientific, look at mental illness in an easy to comprehend way.

We’re given the realization that it isn’t nature vs. nurture, but in fact, nature and nurture together. Dr. Serani offers multiple examples of this early in our reading.

This, coupled with the fact that the author experienced firsthand a number of items discussed in this book, made for a highly empathetic read.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who may be suffering from, or think they may have, a mental illness, plus anyone thinking of heading into this field of work.

I rated Living With Depression four stars. I am so glad I had the opportunity to read this book and that I can share this information with my family.
