Excellent book by a nun who was bipolar. She gives a three step approach to combating depression:
1.) Return to the Church: At least continual Mass, Confession, and Eucharist, see a priest, and proper prayer - this will strengthen your soul;
2.) Go to regular therapy
3.) Medication, if still necessary.
I have followed her guidelines and have made the most improvement in many years compared to solely medicine regimes.
Short, easy to read, and enlightening. If you consider yourself a Catholic/Christian and have been away from the Church, not practicing your religion, and have had problems with depression/bipolar - this book will give you a whole new prospective and approach to combating this horrible condition they call depression.
My mother found this book and after 20 years of dealing with MY depression, she finally understands. This book was a miracle for me. It is great for the person suffering from depression because it gives a great “plan of action.” However, it is SUPERB for those not depressed who are around the depressed person.
The author is sincere and insightful. You can’t help, but like her. I also like the fact that she does not just say: Going To Catholic Mass is the only answer. She understands that depression is only treated through ATTEMPTS and FAILURES at “healing” the mind, body, and spirit.
