Has Anyone Used a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Book for Depression?

Published December 30, 2013

Question by Megan: Has anyone used a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy book for depression? If so, how did it go? What books would you recommend?? Best answer: Answer by Madworld711Yes. I have.

Don’t take Shirley’s “doctor” advice. That’s just stupid. No real doctor in their right mind would prescribe that for someone with depression alone. That’s the same as xanax, which is for anxiety.

Treatment Center Depression: Best Depression Treatments

Published December 6, 2013

Depression is thought to be a product of both psychological and biological processes in a person’s being. Stress is a vital factor in the first two episodes of depression.

Published November 15, 2013

... by Leila: where is the border of chemical imbalance and “simple depression”? How do you know that you have a chemical brain problem that leads to depression and need medication or you are just “simply depressed”? I never took any medicine and never will, because I know my problems and I am working on them. I just wonder if we can say, that there is just not enough serotonin produced because it is an illness, or it is a mix of circumstances in our life that we get depressed?

I am 28 years old and have been seeing my current therapist for about a year now for depression, social anxiety, general anxiety, and very pronounced low self-esteem isssues. He is the 6th therapist I have seen in my life–I have literally suffered from depression/anxiety since I was 5 years old, and over my lifetime I have been on a total of 12 antidepressants/antianxiety meds, including Paxil, Buspar, Wellbutrin, Serzone, and so on.

In addition to therapists, I’ve seen scores of medical Dr’s to try med combonations, and to rule out other physical problems, but no luck. Read more... ...
