Being depressed can leave you feeling completely paralyzed. Getting out of bed seems impossible--much less getting out of the depression. If you are struggling with depression, you need encouragement, support, and the right treatment and tools to start healing. Fortunately, First Steps out of Depression offers just that: simple, compassionate help. Unlike clinical books that often approach the subject from a distance, or well-intentioned advice from loved ones, this brief but valuable guide is written by someone who has suffered from depression herself and who understands that healing isn't as easy as "cheering up."

Whether you're wondering for the first time if you might be depressed or you've been struggling with depression for quite some time, this book will help guide you out of the pit and back into your life, one step at a time.
