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.

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 and Weight Change
Weight gain is a common problem people with depression experience, but some people may find that they are losing weight instead. One cause for weight gain or loss is stress. A form of relieving stress is eating, but some people may lose their appetite. Yet, other people may decide that starving themselves is a way of controlling their problems. Deciding not to eat for long periods may cause intense hunger feelings, which then can result in overeating or starve the body of essential nutrition.
Some people find that when they feel upset, going to the kitchen and grabbing something to snack on is comforting. Yet, eating for comfort often results in eating food that is high in fat, sugar, and calories with little nutrition value. Studies show that symptoms of depression suppress the metabolism, which eventually leads to obesity (Rihmer, Purebl, Faludi, and Halmy, 2008).
Protect against Weight Problems
• The research of Rihmer, Purebl, Faludi, and Halmy suggest that one of the best protections against gaining weight from depression is regular exercise.
• Additional things that can be done to avoid going hungry or overeating is to cope with the stress as quickly as possible. The longer the stress lingers, the longer you put the body out of balance, because of either choosing not to eat or over eat as an attempt to feel better.
Either of these strategies affects the body and can lead to malnutrition, obesity, diabetes, low blood sugar, mood swings, and further symptoms of depression by not giving the body the nutrition it needs to help fight of the effects of stress such as depressed immune system. Learning to cope with the stressor will help you get your health back on the right track.
