Comprehensive, authoritative, forthright--this book not only answers questions it also poses important questions I never thought to ask. Reading it, you get the feeling you're listening to somebody who really knows depression both from the clnical side and also the personal side, and who has a lot of sensible answers. Finding what you want to know is easy: The chapters organize the material into logical sections, and the questions--which are in bold, throughout the text--help you find what you're looking for without wasting time on what you're not interested in. I'd recommend this book to anyone with depression or who has friends or family with depression.
