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 Pain
Depression can be the culprit for various complaints: fatigue, moody, lack of hunger or overeating, and sleepless nights for instance. Many people, who visit their doctor for depression, describe their symptoms in physical terms such as pain. That is because depression is associated with pain.
A Harvard Mental Health letter (2004) tells us that brain pathways used to transmit pain signals use the same neurotransmitters such as serotonin to regulate mood. When the body is experiencing pain, the brain diverts the signals of discomfort so that we can continue to function normally. When there is dysfunction with this process, pain is more likely to be the focal point. When there is dysfunction, pain along with our mood such as sadness and hopelessness intensifies. Chronic pain adds to the problem.
Researchers Blozik, Laptinskaya, Hermann-Lingen and colleagues (2009) found that both depression and anxiety are linked to increasing levels of neck pain. Neck pain isn't the only pain associated with depression. Headaches, backaches, and arthritis can be affecting depression.
What can I do?
• Pain can also slow down the progression of depression and instead worsen symptoms of depression. Gaining control of the pain must be the emphasis, but learning to think of your pain differently can actually help cope with the pain and hopeless feelings that lead to depression.
• Retraining how to think about pain isn't effortless, but it can be done. Along with exercise, telling yourself that the pain doesn't control your thinking, you may feel better about your life. Fighting both the pain and the mental suppression is an approach you may find helpful.
