I found this book to be beneficial for those who have depression. The book is easy to follow along and understand because it takes you step-by-step through the process of overcoming depression and workpages.

Dr. Pennisky

I found this book to be vaulable and very helpful to those who are dealing with depression as well as professionals who treat people with depression. I believe professionals can use this book as the textbook to start and facilitate a psycho-educational group on depression.

I have bipolar and wasn't unable to find help- until I read this book. This book was better than therapy because I could finally understand what doctors were trying to tell me.

Richard Martin

This is the most practical self-help workbook for personal development that I have encountered in my nearly 60 years. The procedures, exercises, and the many opportunities for self-relfection are invaluable no matter how serious or how insignficant one's problems...and readers can go at their own speed, as quickly or slowly as is comfortable for their situation. Jill has proved a tremendous publich service with her book.

Carolyn Abbott

Ms. Maschio has, in my opinion, made a real contribution in this dark area and focused light on an overlooked and unexpected source of help: one's own 'self-start' button."

Depression: Reap the Benefits of Brain Fitness

When fitness is mentioned, body fitness is generally what comes to mind. People spend countless hours trying to get their bodies fit. Yet, what part of the body that is most neglected is the brain.

Why is Brain Fitness Important for depression?

A fit brain is an important part of optimal health. Research now shows that brain fitness has several benefits such as preventing mental decline. Mental decline is a natural occurring phenomenon that happens as people age. Some decline is unavoidable, but people can help avoid unnecessary mental decline by simply keeping the mind fit.

Keeping mentally sharp and fit is vital if you want to experience optimal health as you age. Brain fitness can help restructure the damage depression and stress causes to brain cells and structure. Physical exercise helps the brain function at its optimal level, and brain fitness can help increase and maintain better physical health. It's a win-win type of situation. The better your mental and physical health, the longer and happier you may live.

Keeping your Mind Fit

• Some things that you can do starting today to keep your mind fit is to learn how to strengthen and retrain the mind. This can be done through educational mind games or you can learn and develop better cognitive thinking skills. When Your Mind Is Clear, the Sun Shines All the Time is a great place where you can learn and develop this skill. You can also learn effective decision-making strategies, coping skills, communication skills, and more.
