Depression
Depression Is a Choice
A.B. Curtiss, Hyperion, NY, 2001
ISBN 0-7868-6629-2
A very powerful book about how to win the battle of depression without the use of modern drugs, through developing our skills and acquiring tools that can help us face life's inevitable hardships. In a society where depression is considered an unquestionable disease, A.B Curtiss courageously explores these assumptions psychologically and begs to differ that depression can be healed with the use of "directed thinking." As a licensed psychotherapist and someone who suffered from depression herself, she is a credible source, directing her knowledge and first hand experience to those who face the difficulty of overcoming depression in their own lives. Her theories on taking responsibility for our thinking and confronting our problems, rather then ignoring them, can transform our lives and enable us to deal with difficulties that are the "part and parcel" of human life. I recommend this book to anyone who is coping with depression, and to those that courageously believe that they are strong enough to overcome it drug-free. And I encourage anyone who may question this approach, for we are all equipped with the strongest, most remarkable tool of all; the human mind.
