This book is a rare find. Living with Depression: Why Biology and Biography Matter along the Path to Hope and Healing manages to explain depression in terms of human biology and experience without downplaying either aspect.Not only does Living with Depression give a truly holistic view of depression and its treatments, it gives it in an easily understandable format.Perhaps most impressive is how the author has also included a section on how to find a therapist, doctor, and alternative treatment- often the biggest hurdle for people seeking treatment. She also describes how to find affordable medication and tips on communicating with insurance companies. These issues are often omitted from books, so while readers may end up understanding their illness, they have no idea what to do about it.Living with Depression is not a medical or psychological treatise, it is perhaps something better: an easy, comprehensive explanation of depression and how to get help.
